Awesome, thanks, that pointed me in just the right direction for the desired hack. Now working! While a core option setting would be great in the future, this hack will certainly work for now. :0)  for others who might be interested in the hack ... 

FROM CORE FILES SIMPLE PRESS version 5.2.6
IN FILE simple-press\\forum\\content\\sp-member-view-functions.php
COPY lines 432-482, or the sp_MemberListUrl() function if you've changed other things in that file and line numbers are different

PASTE TO THEME in my case NAME Default VERSION 1.2.2
IN FILE sp-resources\\forum-themes\\default\\templates\\spFunctions.php
PLACE wherever, I put at end
CHANGE function name as desired, I went with my_sp_MemberListUrl()
ADDED lines in the $defs array

'showAs' => 'text',
'icon' => 'sp_UserWebsite.png',
'iconClass' => 'spImg',
'targetNew' => 1,
'noFollow' => 0,

//ADDED lines in the "sanitize before use" section

$icon = sanitize_file_name($icon);
$iconClass = esc_attr($iconClass);
$targetNew = (int) $targetNew;
$noFollow = (int) $noFollow; 

ADDED logic to check showAs value, output as text vs. icon as appropriate

if ($showAs == 'icon' && $spThisMember->user_url != '')
{

$target = ($targetNew) ? ' target="_blank"' : '';

$follow = ($noFollow) ? ' rel="nofollow"' : '';
if(!empty($icon)) {

$out = "<div id='$tagId' class='$tagClass'>";
$out.= "<span class='$labelClass'>".sp_filter_title_display($label)."$att</span>";
$out.= "<a id='$tagId' class='$tagClass vtip' href='$spThisMember->user_url' title='$spThisMember->user_url'$target$follow><img class='$iconClass' src='".SPTHEMEICONSURL.$icon."' alt='' /></a>\n";
$out.= "</div>\n";

}
$out = apply_filters('sph_PostIndexUserWebsite', $out, $a);

}
else
{

// these were the original 5 lines
$out = "<div id='$tagId' class='$tagClass'>";
$out.= "<span class='$labelClass'>".sp_filter_title_display($label)."$att</span>";
$out.= "<span class='$dateClass'>".sp_make_clickable($spThisMember->user_url).'</span>';
$out.= "</div>\n";
$out = apply_filters('sph_MemberListUrl', $out, $a);

}

IN FILE sp-resources\\forum-themes\\default\\templates\\spMembersView.php
CHANGE call to core MemberListUrl to instead call modified one just added
AND PASS in the showAs value as "icon"

# Column 6 of the member row - url
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
sp_ColumnStart('tagClass=spColumnSection spRight&width=26%');
//sp_MemberListUrl('', __sp('Member URL'));
my_sp_MemberListUrl(array('showAs' => 'icon'), __sp('Member URL'));
sp_ColumnEnd();
