Bulk-adding users. I.e. adding multiple users at once would be a very useful feature. Does anyone know a way of doing it now?

You can put together a pretty simple app to take your user data and push through the Liferay API to create the accounts (basically a remote web service call).

I wish I could David. Unfortunately, I'm not developer - I get by by tweaking existing code and developing hooks.

I've found this portlet kindly made available by a user but when I click on the Import button I see an error messag: "Portlet is temporarily unavailable."

Any other suggestions?

That blog is pretty old and the portlet seems to be missing some critical details (i.e. in liferay-plugin-package.properties it is missing the liferay version info), so it's no wonder why the code doesn't work...

Check "CSV User Import" from Liferay Marketplace.

It's quite ancient now, and only published up to 6.2. The github repo has seen some work on 7.0, but it seems to be an abandoned plugin. You'd have to do some development work yourself in order to get it going - e.g. port the existing code to the version you're targeting.

I'm looking at the Marketplace listing of that portlet, and the first screenshot of the page where you upload the CSV file clearly states what is also documented in the github repo's README:

The first line in the CSV file is mandatory and is exactly the following:
username;email;firstName;lastName;password;male;jobTitle;birthday;cf1;cf2;cf3;cf4;cf5;cf6;cf7;cf8;cf9;cf10;cf11;cf12;cf13;cf14;cf15;cf16;cf17;cf18;cf19;cf20

I wonder what your first line looks like...
