Question Can you disable topic icons in the configuration editor

We don't want topic icons. We have 1.5 and there is no way to disable, but do newer versions have this as an option within the configuration?

In K 1.7.1 you disable the topics icons with:

Forum Configuration » Frontend » Look and Feel » Selectable Topic Icons = No

I have a similar question, but when you change option to "No" generic icons appears.

Is there any way to disable them at all?

If you use the setting

Forum Configuration » Frontend » Look and Feel » Selectable Topic Icons = No

when users start a new topic they cannot choose a topic icon. Where else do you want to "disable" topic icons? Would you like to show us a picture, please, and perhaps a link to your forum frontend so that we can see this problem for ourselves? Thank you.

I would also like to be able to turn off the Topic Icon completely.

I have set this:
Forum Configuration » Frontend » Look and Feel » Selectable Topic Icons = No

This stops people from being able to select an icon, but icons still show up once the post has been created.

Take a look at this link:

Take a look at the attachment. How do I turn off the icons that are highlighted.

I could probably hide this with CSS but it would be much better if there was in the CMS.

Thanks,
