Avatars showing up in my profile widget even though they are set to "false"

OutofSchoolClub · 2011-10-17T11:53:13.000Z

Avatars have disappeared (great!) but Twitter name is till there. Plus my other options (eg not displaying timestamp) are also still being ignored. My Twitter feed still looks crap. Can you unbreak these other options too?
Thanks

Update: I’ve since used various of the CSS tips further up this discussion which have fixed my problem - until the next Twitter update presumably.

It’s good that Twitter restored our command over avatars, but I still agree with @mblawyers: It would be better if Twitter could “put it COMPLETELY back to the way it was before your ‘Display Guidelines’ change.”

To remove timestamp, reply, favorite and retweet links add:
.twtr-timestamp { display: none; }
.twtr-reply { display: none; }
.twtr-fav { display: none; }
.twtr-rt { display: none; }

The only annoying thing left is some dots that used to be in between these links.
To remove them you can copy the widget.js script to your own site and remove all occurances of · (or the complete links)

I agree to all of this. I tried to get rid of the username with the CSS solution but it only worked for a couple of hours, wierd… Please Twitter, make these changes to make it more user-friendly.

Thanks for this tip! My Twitter Widget is finally starting to look normal again.

The look of our site has been altered without us having laid a finger on it. Why have the username appear in front of the Tweet when it’s already above it? The timestamps appearing are not the end of the world but now our Twitter Profile Panel which was carefully sized, doesn’t fit. The website homepage dimensions were built around it - why should you be allowed to suddenly interfere with that. Please restore it as soon as possible or we will cease to use it at all…

Thank you!

Not had any reply about this yet but more problems than you can probably imagine are being caused by the lack of control over the widget. Last chance I think to remedy it or we’re going to get rid of our Twitter account.

Looks like the problem is back again. The css workaround isn’t even working for me. What’s the word Twitter?

Hi, I enjoy the twitter web search widget immensely. But . . . I used to be able to NOT show avatars and hash tags. I am guessing you changed the widget codes per your “Display Guidelines”: will you possibly consider letting users like me go back to letting us decide for ourselves whether we want to show avatars and hash tags. I think from twitter’s vantage point, this would be a business opportunity – maybe we could get that code for (hopefully) a nominal annual fee ($25?): those not willing to pay that fee would then be required to follow the Display Guidelines fully.

RobEnnisJr · 2011-11-23T18:10:41.000Z

Has there been any movement at all on this issue? If we try to remove hashtags or timestamps with CSS, are we violating the “Display Guidelines”? And what are the consequences? I understand Twitter’s reasoning on the issue, but from a design & user experience perspective its a big fail.

Update - we have deployed the changes to bring the avatar option back to the widgets.

Followed your instructions on creating widget (Avatar), got message that it’s successful, but avatar is not showing. Is it because of weekend (Sat & Sun)? Please help. Thanks.

I had the search twitter widget on a client site. It has stopped working. I can’t find the page that where I created it. Instead I found a widget option on my main page. I created a new widget. There was no option to turn off avatar & name, nor the ability to turn on the loop. Can someone help?

Here is the original code: (the new is below)’

Here is the new code:

Those customization options are not available in the new Embedded Timelines.

How do I disable avatars from my Embedded Timelines?

acharyabhupi · 2013-06-17T20:45:37.000Z

Steevithak, how I disable avatars in my Embedded Timelines? I tried the above css .twtr-avatar { display: none !important; } and i not work.

acharyabhupi · 2013-06-26T23:10:13.000Z

I want to know too, this is utter crap, why make us do it their way when it was fine already… Makes you wonder is Twitter going the same way as Facebook? Making it rubbish so we all go to Google? Twitter guys you have made my website look rubbish now with your new system… So I’m thinking of moving from twitter there has to be better sites who care about their users… Oh well TWEETBOOK it is.
