Any way to make all poster's signatures and avatars not load?

1. You can hide them with a user style sheet...

... but even though you won't see them, the text and images will still load.

I'm not hiding avatars, but I am hiding signatures - here are the CSS rules I'm using plus an additional one to hide avatars:

[div class="excerpt" style="display:inline-block; margin-left:1em; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius:0.4615em; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #999999 inset;"].post-sig
{
    display: none !important;  
}
.post-sig+div
{
    display: none !important;  
}
.post-sig+center
{
    display: none !important;  
}

p.post-avatar
{
    display:none !important;  
}

There may be a couple user signatures where the poster is using html/css that is broken which will cause that signature to be visible, but other than those rare exceptions it should hide everything.

How you get these style sheet rules to take effect depends on your browser and OS - some can be done without add-ons/extensions/plug-ins (i.e. Opera, FireFox), some are easy by using the Stylish extension (i.e. FireFox, Chrome), and others are more difficult - which would probably make me add some more specific selectors in those rules to make sure they work properly.

I suggest googling "user style sheet" + your browser and OS. If you can't find anything useful in the results, you can ask me how to do it for what you are using - although I don't have access to every browser/OS combination, so I may not be very helpful.
