Thanks for the module

ive just added the Users with Pictures to the default user/%/status view. The view works as it should but theres 2 things im wondering about.

The posters name now shows up twice, one where it would do usually and secondly next to the user picture, how could I remove this name, so just the pictures there?
And when a user posts to another user, both pictures, are shown, how can I get just the posters picture.
I.e user/1 posts on user/2s status, currently I get user/1s pic and user/1s name >> user/2s pic and user/2s name, then above the actuall post ive got user/1 >> user/2 then the message. I would just like the one picture and the names displayed once rather than twice.

How do I do this?

Thanks for any help.

The field Facebook-style Statuses: Cross-Posting holds just the usernames, so remove that. Note that you'll also have to edit the Facebook-style Statuses: Created time field or you'll see the text [pid_extra] where the usernames were originally.

Unfortunately, there's no way to get just the poster's picture right now. That will probably be in before the next RC.

I re-open this thread and set it to 6.x-2.x-dev before creating a new one... I'd also need the picture of the poster as separate item.
It's userful for "wall"-like views where the picture of the recipient is not necessary.

Don't open closed issues for support requests, especially on old versions of the module. There's already a field for showing the poster's picture -- the last one in the attached screenshot.

Thank you for your help. I'm sorry for re-opening this issue but the most maintainer want the user to re-open closed issues instead of creating new for similiar requests that's why I did so.
It was my mistake, I didn't realize that there is a poster's picture field now - I was pretty sure that in one of the last releases this field didn't exist so I didn't look after upgrade into this. But maybe I'm wrong at all.
I use the imagecache profile module. At the moment it's not possible to choose an imagecache preset for the poster's picture field. I guess this support request belongs to the imagecache profile issue queue? It would be great to have the ability to choose a preset - I'm using this on user profile so the picture has the same size as the user picture on the user profile.

Please don't hijack old issues with unrelated support requests... but yes, right now the poster picture field defaults to the same imagecache preset as is used on the profile itself. I'll probably fix that within the next few weeks.
