You DO in fact have a badge for not having a badge... It's the badge that you do not have the badge of.

One day... one day I shall have the Redneck Bodyguard badge!!! TGC will see how important my duties are! <-- He used to be the bodyguard but he retired.

Words cannot describe my Greatness... But I'll give it a shot.

I am awesome....... Yeah, that works.

There should be a "Usefully Useless Poster" badge for me.

Oh come on. We're trying to talk with sigs here and you rudely interrupt.

Once upon a time I owned the prize for most off-topic posts. Then later, Batvink christened me 'The one who turns threads into trash'. I think that's deserving of some kind of recognition.

I know exactly what you're talking about, my boredom has led me to read older posts on Geek Culture and I happened to come across some hilarious ones.

I've taken the initiative of assigning myself all relevant badgers.

[edit] While we're on a sort of forum-editing-related topic, could we get sigs actually sitting at the bottom of posts instead of halfway please?

What do you mean? All the sigs I see are at the bottom of their posts. Screenshot?

the sigs are not bottom-justified (is that the right term?) where the member-info on the left (with name, joined, location, etc is) causes the post area to be relatively tall.

depending on all the member-info (including badges) and the length of the post, it can leave our sigs "in the middle" of the post area, with "white-space" below to match the member-info area height.

see dark frager's post above, and many others. it leaves the sig appearing as part of the post if you're not paying close attention.

i've been noticing/being irked by this lately, too.

I think what he means is that if you have a badge, the little icons under the Location need room and as a result causes space underneath the sigs. I'm not really bothered by it though.

Edit- Virtual Nomad beat me to it and the problem no longer exists (with my sig at least).

It's not a problem if you have sufficient content in your post, but otherwise it just looks messy IMO.

I hadn't noticed it either but looking back over posts it does appear that if a member's 'info block' has more stuff than the actual post the sig does have a gap under it.

You'd better act soon before they are culled.

Maybe adding this will stick the sig container to the bottom of the post container.
