The other thing I can't understand is why you would want to duplicate a "badge" that is already there, I noticed in the thread I landed on in your forum that hardly any of your members are actually using this feature.

Surely if someone wants a "custom badge" they can use their avatar to display it, isn't that what it is ?

It looks like Ozzy already got to your first question.

As for your second one, avatars are used to display most commonly images that are perfectly square or sometimes rectangular. The point of this modification is for users to be able to add a custom badge, which is smaller than an avatar by far, and even a custom link. Could you make a profile field to just display a link, yes, but it's not as fun.

Hardly any of the users use it because they aren't as active as I'd like. Most just pop in for sip of tea and then leave.

And I'd also like to say that, no an avatar is not a badge. An avatar is an avatar. A badge is a badge.

This is simply a fun modification for whomever would like to use it. If you think it's pointless or redundant then simply don't use it. I'm not forcing anyone's hand here. I discovered a neat little feature and decided to share it out of the kindness of my heart.
