Default user icons / pictures
Is there a way to set a different default user icon / picture other than the random smiley faces?
If not I think this would be a great feature addon.

The smileys are called Vanillicons. We think that it's better to have a Vanillicon than nothing at all. You can disable them in the Dashboard.
Members can updates their profile pictures by clicking on the picture on the profile page.
You can also enable the Gravatar plugin which will use a Gravatar instead of a Vanillicon. Further, members that user Twitter or Facebook to connect, will have that profile photo used.
