Avatars

How do I shut off the avatars on my monitor? When I have a cat waving its paw at me, I want it gone!!

Regards,
Richard

Sorry Richard, I don't think their is any way on the user side to switch avatars off, but I'll look into the issue, perhaps it can be controlled through styles?

However I thought the little red cat looked hilarious and even made a comment in that direction.

Sure it first came a little as a shock, but I'd rather have a waving cat than trolls messing around with people's time and effort. If this means that the forum is less professional or even childish, what can I say?

To catch attention as an admin, I use a pin up, I really think it works too!



From a community point of view you could always start a poll, any significant return will certainly be influential on the format chosen.

Personally I am itching to start on a new set of web pages.

Sometimes Ruy Horta just needs to RTFM, or as they say in dutch look further than the length of his nose (which is considerable, judged by his Latin background).

The answer is here my friend.

Okay, read carefully (since it has been hinted before).

These are the steps to switch off a number of features that some regard as nice to haves, while others can't stand them.

User CP \ Edit options \ Thread Display Options \ Visible Post Elements

Show Signatures
Show Avatars
Show Images (including attached images and images in [IMG] code)

Enjoy!

PS. didn't I write that most tweaks can be found in the User CP?

Ja, ja, ja...bla, bla, bla...

There is always someone who thinks he's smarter, well I cannot ban the Admin for being a Troll, so I might as well say that he's right...this time.

Thanks "Admin" - it works

Dear admin,

Thanks for the tip. Yes, that worked and I now have more room to see the actual message.

Any tips for getting print-outs most efficiently?

Regards,

Richard
