[support] getting rid of "soandso's picture" text

[Steve Edwards]

The variable in node.tpl.php that stores the user picture is (aptly 
named) $picture.  In the template file, just put a conditional statement 
that uses $picture only if it contains something:

  <?php if ($picture): ?>
    <div id='user_picture'>
      <?php print $picture; ?>
        </div> <!--end picture div-->
  <?php endif; ?>

That way. the user_picture div only exists if there is actually a 
picture.  This is the way that regions are commonly laid out in a page 
so that they don't show up if they don't contain any content.
