I did try searching and didn't find any mention of this particular "issue" so apologies if someone has already requested/mentioned it.

I wondered if it was possible to remove that default "avatar" for all users who have no uploaded a custom avatar for themselves?

I am not sure if it's just me, but I find it confusing to see that default avatar for "almost every" user and when scrolling down it just looks like the same person posting their messages.  I know there are things like usernames and post counts to distinguish, but it would be much easier to just not show any avatar image unless the user uploads one.

Thoughts?

OR...is there a way I can turn this off for myself so I only see avatars that have been uploaded by users?

I avoided bringing this one up myself, but now that it has been mentioned...

It is not just you @KoopaTroopa. I too am sometimes confused by the default Simpsonesque Kodi logo avatar. If it could be removed easily, I'm all for it. If it's going to cause a headache for @ronie, well then I'll just learn to live with it.

Go to your user control panel (click on the arrow beside your name in the top-right hand corner) then select user CP > edit options (bottom of the your profile menu, second column from the left near the top) and under thread view options (lower right hand side of the screen) you have a tick box for "Display users' avatars in their posts". Untick that and then push the update options button at the bottom to save the change.

You can use that to turn avatars on and off - it's all of them rather than just the default ones, but may be a suitable compromise?
