Remove avatars from Who's Online

[Bob_R]

I can't recall for the life of me how to remove avatars from the What's Going On? section.

**Bangs head on desk **

Can someone fill me in?

I've provided screenshots.

Edit: Using vBulletin 4.2.2

Most likely it is a "mod", as it is not part of the "canned" vbulletin. Disable your 'WGO' - 'What's Going On' mods one by one till you find it.

Sorry, I did not know what version of vBulletin you were running so I could not suggest a possible 'mod'. )

Only mods dealing with avatars are Xenforo Style avatars which is for forum display. And, Digital Point thread avatars which are for threads.

What alerted me to this is that I created a test user and when he/she/it was online they had no markup and no avatar. Everyone else obviously as per screenshot does have HTML markup and avatars displaying.

What other mods are you running, cause I know there are some mods that have this feature, that don't specifically deal with avatars, like DBTech's InfoPanels

Bob, do this.

Go to your forumhome template of the skin you want to change this from.

Find:

<vb:each from="activeusers" value="loggedin">
<li>{vb:stylevar dirmark}<a class="username" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw loggedin}}">{vb:raw loggedin.musername}</a>{vb:raw loggedin.invisiblemark}{vb:raw loggedin.buddymark}{vb:raw loggedin.comma}</li>
</vb:each>
{vb:raw template_hook.V_name_list}
</ol>
</vb:if>

I highlighted the "musername" in red.

Change it to username to remove the avatars from members names in the WGO area.

I tested it on the same skin you use - and I am going to bet that was the same code we shared.

Anyway - good luck!
