XF 2.1 Bug/oversight - Large avatar on member profile page links to image only?

[Bimble]

The avatar on the member page links to the image used in the avatar - which effectively takes a visitor off the main site and lands them on just an image - is this intended or maybe an oversight (it doesn't do it in XF1.5)?

It is intended.

Okay, thanks - seems a bit odd, but fair enough.

Anyone know how to remove the link?

Quick 'n' dirty fix - member_view template:

Replace:

<xf:avatar user="{$user}" size="l" 
     href="{{ $user.getAvatarUrl('o') ?: '' }}" />

With:

<xf:avatar user="{$user}" size="l" />

Not ideal as the member card popup appears on hover, but couldn't work out how to replace it with just the avatar image.
