Re: WP-FB connect profile.

So, basically to resolve your problem your fetching the avatar from Facebook each time it’s loaded? Seems like you should be able to download the avatar the first time from Facebook and save it to BP, no? Maybe Facebook doesn’t allow you to download it and then upload it to BP?

Just seems pretty expensive to have to query Facebook every time to get a person’s avatar. The nice part is that the avatar will continue to update as they change it on Facebook. The bad part is that if Facebook’s down, then they’ll have no avatar. You’d also be using a lot of your Facebook Connect connections to load avatars once your site scales to any size. I think they have a limit on connections, no?
