Disabling AJAX refresh icon IP 3.2.x

Thanks to Michael at here / IPS. comment section wording is my own, don't blame him for that.
for every skin you want to affect you need to edit Global Template -> includeVars skin template.

search for :

ipb.templates['ajax_loading'] = "<div id="ajax_loading"><img src="%7B$this-%3Esettings[" img_url']}="" ajax_loading.gif'="" alt="" + ipb.lang[" loading']="" +="" "'=""<img src='http://invisionfocus.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pinch.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='><' />/div>";

and either comment it out or delete it and add this:

ipb.templates['ajax_loading'] = "";

my example looks like this, it includes the search for and replace with in comments:

/* REMOVE DUMBASS ICON */
/* replace ipb.templates['ajax_loading'] = "<div id="ajax_loading"><img src="%7B$this-%3Esettings[" img_url']}="" ajax_loading.gif'="" alt="" + ipb.lang[" loading']="" +="" "'=""<img src='http://invisionfocus.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pinch.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='><' />/div>";
with ipb.templates['ajax_loading'] = ""; */
/* END REMOVAL AREA */
ipb.templates['ajax_loading'] = "";
