XF 1.5 Replace discussion starter avatar with icon

[zackm]

Is there any way to get rid of the discussion starter avatar and replace it with a generic icon of some sort? My forum uses really broad threads that are used for years at a time, so knowing who started the thread is not really valuable information.

I think he may be referring to the thread list.

If you're referring to the avatar on the thread list you'll need to edit: thread_list_item

        <span class="avatarContainer">
            <xen:avatar user="$thread" size="s" img="true" />
            <xen:if is="{$thread.user_post_count}"><xen:avatar user="$visitor" size="s" img="true" class="miniMe" title="{xen:phrase you_have_posted_x_messages_in_this_thread, 'count={xen:number $thread.user_post_count}'}" /></xen:if>
        </span>

Replace the content inside the <span>.

Would I just point to a png somewhere on my server?
