I recognised that you wanted those gone as well, but the posting page one struck me as the most intrusive and is by far the biggest. You were complaining about download time. With the small avatar few people will bother to upload one and then you only have to download the default one once and then it gets rendered from the browser's cache every time it's needed. You're talking a few micro-seconds delay for that.

For the avatars you wish to see gone you'll need to comment out the following lines from the following two macros:

topics_column Lines: 23-25

<td valign="top" style="border:none">
    <n.owner.avatar size="small" group="A"/>
</td>

The above control the topic avatars you have ringed (plus all those "N"s of course. They're a poster's avatar as well).

last_post_column Lines: 32-34

<td style="padding:0;vertical-align:top;border:none;">
    <n.owner.avatar size="small" group="B"/>
</td>

The above control the most recent post avatars you have ringed.

But that will leave you with a corrupt display because of the show/hide graphics on the heading bar, so comment out the following as well:

topics_column  Lines: 7-9

<td style="width:22px;border:none">
    <n.avatar_control group="A"/>
</td>

The above control the appearance of the "show/hide" graphic on the column heading.

last_post_column Lines: 9-11

<td style="width:22px;border:none">
    <n.avatar_control group="B"/>
</td>

The above control the appearance of the "show/hide" graphic on the most recent post column heading.

I guess you could also search out the section in the personal settings that allows you to upload an avatar, but I haven't bothered to search for that macro. Though without doing so I guess you might get a query from a curious user.
