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

[Christopher M. Jones]

Thanks, all. I forgot that I had set a default picture, which no longer 
exists in the original location. Where I was getting the "username's 
picture' it was because of an empty <img> tag. FF just displayed the 
link, but I finally saw in IE the broken img icon. So I was right the 
first time: I test on $picture, and it works when there -really- isn't a 
picture.

Sorry to waste your time.
