However it should not break the layout. This is a site specific issue and only exists on your forum. Please leave some URL to allow us debug the problem CSS/HTML.

As Anonymous, the lack of an avatar has also broken the layout a bit.

When a member deletes their own profile, do they become Anonymous? And how can I prevent the layout from breaking as a result?

I am also using Ultimate Member so I am not sure this is the right place for this question.
