This is what it looks like when avatar is disabled in the #kbin profile and images are disabled in the browser. The avatar is converted into the text address of the author -- which is a great idea. But then the HTML apparently uses a table or something and makes the left column as small as possible for the object. This means 1 char when in image is not showing. For people with really long addresses 1 post takes up a whole screen even if it’s just one line.
