[buddypress-dev] Suggestion to add filter when rendering profile field values

[Andy Peatling]

Great stuff, I haven't really added any BP hooks or filters yet.  
Definitely need to go through and add ones where they make sense. I'll  
add this one, and if anyone else has good suggestions for hook and  
filter locations feel free to submit a patch or reply to this thread.

Cheers
Andy
