 * Hi!
 * To remove the (gr)avatar is a built-in function of the widget. So go to your 
   widgets, open the widget area where your quick chat widget is placed and there
   under its settings uncheck the box “show avatars”.
 * For removing the hour I only have a kinda dirty way to remove the whole timestamp.
   Therefore go into your quick-chat.css and find the string
 * /* Message time, applies to all messages */
    div.quick-chat-history-timestring{
   display:none; font-style:italic; margin: 0; padding: 0;}
 * add the display:none; to your entry (see above)
 * Hope I could help a bit 😉
 * Best regards

 * Hello,
    sorry for not answering to support emails and questions I’m quite ill
   and most of the time I’m not able to help. You can read more on my blog post 
   [here](http://www.techytalk.info/what-happened-to-updates-to-techytalk-info-and-to-quick-chat-wordpress-plugin/).
 * It’s hard for me to see that someone needs help and do nothing about it so here
   it is 🙂
 * All Dar_Kuntu wrote about hiding timestamp and avatar is correct (thanks Dar_Kuntu).
   If you need to hide only hour and leave date you’ll need to modify quick-chat.
   php file like this:
 * 1. You will find two occurrences of the following line inside quick-chat.php
 * `$v->timestring = date_i18n($quick_chat_date_format.' - '.$quick_chat_time_format,
   $v->unix_timestamp+($quick_chat_gmt_offset* 3600));`
 * 2. To hide only hour and leave date just replace that line with the following:
 * `$v->timestring = date_i18n($quick_chat_date_format, $v->unix_timestamp+($quick_chat_gmt_offset*
   3600));`
 * Good luck!
