Appolgies in advance if this is simple e-stupidity and an obvious option but...

Is there any way to view the forums without it displaying the avatars of people who post? It's making it hard to get away with reading them at work, wall of text is fine but the pics kinda make it obvious

I don't think you can, but you can make them smaller by clicking the icon next to the rss feed link near the top of the page.

Most browsers provide an option to not load images.

Your slack-fu is weak.

CCP, make forum avatars display much larger, you're making it too easy for me to get away with not working.

This. Chrome lets you do it on a per-website basis.

I studied at the Ferris Bueller school of slacking. Everyday I had to carry my timecard to the top of the mountain, forge my bosses signature and then crash his ferrari backwards through a window.

Eve life goes by pretty fast, if you don't stop and look at the troll vomit on the forums once in awhile you could miss it.

Thanks for the block images suggestion, prob the best/easiest solution!

Image blocking works for me on slow connections.

Still, a proper "mobileforums.eveonline.com" would be nice.

At least 3 options:
- block image server in browser
- add custom script with what Tippia said ( .avatar { display: none; } ) in your browser
- change IP of image server to 127.0.0.1 in hosts file
...and probably other possibilities too

Why would you want to block this pretty face?

Why do I have this sig? I don't smoke.
