I’m working on importing from an old forum (Snitz software). There wasn’t a script for that forum, and I’m not a Ruby developer, so I’m hacking something together based on what I can figure out from the other import scripts.
I finally had success in my sandbox environment yesterday, but I was confused why a few of the users had profile pictures when they imported. I have no idea where they’re pulling from… I’m not importing anything beyond username, name, email address, and inserted date from the user table. As I’m not a Ruby developer, I was lost trying to figure out where that might be happening, and figured I’d just ask. Is it somehow using the email address and checking with something on the internet for any profiles that use the same email address? One of the images seemed like the same profile picture that a guy uses on his LikedIn account. That’s what got me thinking maybe it looks for something online.
