Purpose

To prevent profile pictures from being displayed in the recently updated dashboard.

(warning) This workaround only applies to the old dashboard prior to the new dashboard in Confluence 5.9.x. The user must be using the old dashboard and can do so by clicking "Give me the old dashboard" in the bottom left hand menu.

Solution

  1.  Open your confluence/decorators/global.vmd file.
  2. Edit the following line (change true to false)

                            $helper.renderConfluenceMacro("{recently-updated-dashboard:dashboard|showProfilePic=true}")
    

    There is no need to stop or restart Confluence. The change should work on the next refresh of the page.
