New perks for ribbon holders?
 
I'm a little confused, myself. Signatures and avatars are supposed to be for contributing members only..

Well, point of fact, it seems the Science Advisor / Homework Helper usergroups enable avatars and signatures (though they cannot upload custom avatars). Perhaps this was Greg's intent, or perhaps it slipped past us both? I don't know. Others with medals are also using signatures. I don't know why I never noticed this before. Hmmmmm...

We had discussed the idea a while ago, but I didn't know it was ever implemented. Whether it was intentional or by accident, I think it's a nice idea to keep.

It's not free, yomamma. Hoot put an awful lot of work into his posts to get the medals.

Yes, I know. I was just kidding.
