We use initials of user's first name and last name as user's avatar icon by default. However, not all regions use initials. We need to add a new configuration option that allow users to use default images instead of initials as placeholder for user avatar.

The configuration can be accessed in Control Panel > Configuration > System Settings > User Images in master

For 7.0.x, use the property users.image.default.use.initials in portal.properties
