Forum Feedback How to remove avatars in display mode?

[agantuk]

I don't see any option to do so.

I see avatars in the new threads option (it wasn't there earlier in vB), and want to disable that. Not really interested in the unwanted graphic. Can it be done away with somehow? In the preferences pane there are only skin and notifications mentioned

Not possible. This is standard out of the box functionality.

 

[agantuk]

Aah, that's bad. I will train my eyes to ignore the 1/2 inch to the left in that case

YOu can block the images ( avatar ) using the adblock plugin in FF

@rads, there are workarounds, but then that would need to be done in each browser instance. Would have been awesome if it was an out of the box option.

Give it time, you will get used to it and may even like it.

Well, I think it was in there by default in the old system and after a few requests it was removed.

It was the opposite actually. It was a third party hack which was later disabled.
