XF 2.1 Remove profile avatar's link to source file

[El Porcharo]

I've spent the last hour among search results here in the forum, but I didn't find anything related to my specific question.

Is there any chance to prevent users to open avatar's "source" file when clicking the avatar from the profile page?
I see is a native behaviour, I would prevent my users to see a browser tab showing the picture file alone (it's quite like they bounce away from the site though)

Thanks in advance,
Marco

hmm. should be a simple template change to add _blank target to the profile image i think. or remove the link if you prefer that.

Yep, i would prefer remove the link to the file URL.
But no idea which template to edit and how to handle updates afterward

there are four different templates for member profile view i think. i just checked and it seems doable. unless someone else has a better suggestion! but modification to member_view should do the job i think.

{{ $user.getAvatarUrl('o') ?: '' }} i removed this code from the template and it seems to have worked. i cannot really guarantee if this is a good fix. but seems to do the job.

Thanks mate, I'll give it a try as soon as I get back home later on!
