Showing usernames only on Whose online page

[error404]

Hi Dear

Finally upgraded our forum to latest version of VB looks good so far we were on 4.2 before


On the whose online screen it now shows avatar only instead of username like the old version? any way of changing it so it shows username only?

It shows both avatars and usernames. To hide the avatars, add this CSS in css_additional template:

.memberAvatar {
    display: none;
}

.l-small .b-memberlist__member-details.h-hide-on-large {
    margin-left: 0;
}

I like this idea as when people don't have an avatar you just get lots of grey heads! However, just added the CSS but the avatars are still there, both in 'who's online' and 'what's going on'. Did a hard refresh and cleared the cache but they are still there.

Any ideas on this Glenn Vergara I still can't hide the avatars using your code.

Edit the module, it's an option in there.

Display Avatars > No

I always thought we should integrate with the Gravatar (Globally recognized avatar) service instead of having a default avatar. http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-16073

That sounds like a really good idea. But if it's done, I hope it is an option you can switch to instead of being the only way of displaying avatars.

I agree, not everyone on our site would want that, they often have a photo of their motorhome.

The actual JIRA says to use it to replace the default avatar only and to make it optional for users to upload it as their Avatar. If the user uploads their own avatar, the system would display it just like it does now.
