Oh, did I? Sorry

I can try to make them smaller, but I think it would be better just to add them to your sig, eh?

Let me see what I can do.

Now there's an idea...

Yeah, you may have done such a thing.

I say keep the newest badge under member's avatar and have all the badges
in one album so members can add the older ones to their sigs from there as you said.

How about badges for the sig, and a ribbon for previous awards under the avatar - that way more could be displayed for those who need it.

Yeah, the ribbon thing was my suggestion in my PM to Neal. Tho, the ribbons in
my example would be just scaled down badges. Maybe have them as thumbnails,
so if you click it you are directed to the full size badge.

Hey, look at me with my stinkin' badges

I like that! I will start on it. Let me explain one limitation, the field for Custom avatars in vBulletin only allows a certain number of characters, sort of like a tweet I guess. If I enter more than the limit, the rest get cut off.

So, I may not be able to add hyperlinks...I'll see. Maybe I can combine the images in some cases like you so that they are all one bit of html.

Yeah, placing multiple badges to the same image file should help out in shortening it.

Think tinyurl.com works with images too, so you could try that if you need to
squeeze out more characters.
