I know that the campaign awards were placed on the bio page to save space. If they were placed in a sig line would that cause a problem? I wear my awards with pride.........

IMHO I think you'd still be looking at a performance issue. You need a database hit for each poster then an image load for each award.

My thought was that you could alway add them to your banner. The bad news on that idea is - you're responsible for updating the banner after each campaign.

Yes it is performance drain to display all awards, but I may be able to display at least the first award a user has (since we are doing the hit for the UOM award).

Personally I would not be opposed to removing the personal icon, country location and the date joined info to make space for medals. Those other things can be moved to the profile page. That way you would see the name, rank and awards on the post. Any additional data would be located on the profile. I would even be willing to give up the graphical sig banner but keeping the text sig.

I was certain that performance would limit this. If we could have one ribbon displayed such as the moderator ribbon, would it be possible to make this an option on our setting page so we could rotate awards? Sorry to be any trouble, I was feeling inquisitive today.
