By Does the facepile draw from explicit supporters or implied supporters. We had an issue a while back where it was drawing from implied supporters and opposing press were featured in the list.
I believe this was corrected by the implied vs explicit support feature for that project but I need to confirm which pool the current facepile function draws from.
Hi Steve,
The facepile source calls the most recent supporters to your nation with profile images (avatars from Twitter or Facebook). The number of supporters depends on the theme you're using, and if you're using a custom theme you can find the liquid call in the layout.html - which should look something like this:
{% for signup in site.recent_supporters_with_pictures limit:16 %}
{{ signup.smaller_profile_image }}
{% endfor %}
This will pull from the supporters in your database, not prospects or non-supporters. (Additional info on the differences between supporters and prospects is available.)
When updating the support level of a prospect in your nation, changing the 'inferred support level' won't change the prospect to a supporter. However, changing 'support level' to 'weak support' or 'strong support' will change a prospect to a supporter. If they are a recent signup and have a profile image, they will be pulled into this example facepile of recent supporters.

I’ve started using profiles on one of my NationBuilder sites. The {{ signup.smaller_profile_image }} variable automatically links to a profile page, but I’m blocking all profile pages in instances where a user doesn’t have a password.
Links to non-kosher profile pages have been blocked except for the ones in the “Powered by People Like You” section in the footer which uses {{ signup.smaller_profile_image }}.
Similar links to profile pages are included in directories by default in the theme I started with, but I have managed to block against them in the _signup_show include file. Now on directory pages, if a user doesn’t have a password the link to their profile is not included and their Facebook and Twitter info is blocked as well.
