[buddypress-dev] Profile Data Missing

[Jerome]

thanks! Andy, hope the next build would come out soon.

I changed my wpmu from subdirectories to subdomain mode from now on, I can
not provide the test information for subdirecotries wpmu anymore.

btw, the links are still messed up on my sudomain wpmu site,
