Need property to control display of profile pic feature

Description

In MSGCNTR-109, a new feature was added to the Forums tool that displays user profile images and info next to the user's posts. Due to different requirements at other institutions (and the possiblity that an institution has not yet installed profile2), it is important that an institution has the option to disable this feature in sakai.properties (see MSGCNTR-109 for original discussion).

So the feature to display profile images will be disabled by default. To enable this feature, you may use this setting in sakai.properties:

msgcntr.forums.showProfileInfo=true

Additionally, if profile images are enabled and you do not want to allow linking to the profile information, you can utilize the following profile2 property. If absent, this defaults to true:

profile2.profile.link.enabled

Also tested disabling linking to Profile info on qa29.longsight.com, which works, so I am happy to verify this one.

I've set the property profile2.profile.link.enabled=false on qa29.longsight.com and restarted the server so its ready to test/verify now

Thanks Bryan. Verified in https://qa29.longsight.com/portal/ and screenshot attached.

Please advise if this needs to be tested in conjunction with the profile2.profile.link.enabled=false property to prove the profile pop-ups are suppressed / link is disabled.

If so, Bryan could you please change the .properties file for the next restart? If not needed, I will verify as Tested.

I've added msgcntr.forums.showProfileInfo=true to the qa29.longsight.com server. It will be picked up after the next restart.

Yes, I thought that might be the issue - not sure how I would QA this though - sakai.properties change needs a Tomcat restart, plus I would need somebody to make the change on the QA instance - how do I coordinate that?
