Opt out of having profile displayed in forums?

I'd prefer not having my profile photo showing in forum posts and I'm not seeing a preference setting to not have it displayed. I see where I can select to hide profile photos ("Do not display user's profile photos beside their name."), but that doesn't keep mine from displaying for everyone to see in forum posts, it just toggles it off when I'm reading forums.

Short of deleting my profile photo is there another option to not display it?

Good idea. I hate seeing all those avatars there.

if you dont want us to see your profile pic, why upload one?

You can select (on your preference page) to "Hide Profile Photos", but that doesn't keep yours from being displayed to others' in the forum threads.

Thanks, I didn't realize that (read your post too quickly). I've changed my preferences.

Now if I could only get rid of the lens info beneath each name. It's cluttering up the page, making the left side too big.

It's silly. Sure I have one lens listed as my default lens but I don't exclusively use it.

It weights the left side of the screen too much and with the new colour on the top right buttons it's annoying IMO. I guess change is something so what ya do....

First let me say that I'm really enjoying the profile pics again... I had quit using the Greasemonkey add-in and I missed the feature. It's good that folks who don't want the pics showing up can turn it off. And I'm sure glad I'm not such a control freak that I'm worried about who might be seeing my profile pic :-P

Edit for typo
