    I bought the software the other day to use it as a way for my client’s members to update their personal directory entry, and although it uses PODs fields, it doesn’t appear to store the data in the custom post type created by the PODs plugin, it looks like it’s stored in the BuddyForm’s submission table. This is a problem as we have a large number of directory entries already within the already existing directory custom post type.
