There's also no available configuration for displaying/hiding avatars in my profile, at least I didn't find one.
Well, there usually is, unless your profile is set to hide avatars of other users. Once you do that, that option is removed. Pretty dumb, if you ask me, but this is how this version of UBB.classic works.
Anyway, I went into your profile from the control panel and changed that setting. You should now be able to see avatars even when you're logged in.
