How do I remove the avatar for normal users however only get it to appear for mods and admins?

I can only seem to have avatars for all users but disable registered users uploading their own. The registered users have a basic silhouette head, I don't want it to showing at all and only want an avatar to be displayed against admin and staff.

Also how do you completely remove the reputation field underneath a user's username.

Many thanks in advance.

You would need to put a condition around the avatar to only show it for the usergroups you want.

To find the template to modify, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.)

Lynn,

Many thanks for your reply and your time.

I am a first time user, creating a forum skin on VBulletin 5. I have changed the setting as you described within the VBulletin gneral options but unfortunately have no idea, what section within the source code nor which page of the site I should be viewing to change or remove the default avatar for the usergroup.

I thought it would be the simple case of adding CSS to css.additional section?

I can't think of how you can remove them using just CSS right now since there is no unique class name assigned to the default avatars. You would need to use a condition. If you use the trick I wrote about to enable template names in the page source, you can find the templates you need to modify.
