I think that the medals displayed in the profile should be 1 medal per category. So if you have a silver bomber, it just shows that, the silver bomber. It does not also show a bronze bomber.
So basically, only show the highest attained level for each medal.

I decided to test this little suggestion, to see how it would look. I'm not going to present my own opinion here; simply present how the profiles would look with this change in place. Then you guys can reply with which method you like better..
Here are two comparisons, with two people being used as examples (chosen randomly from the lobby for their badges). The first picture shows them with their current Badge view.. the second one is how it would look with only the highest attained badge showing.

Let me know which option you prefer.

I managed to not change the code perfectly, so the badges don't really show up when they should; I changed the images with Paint Shop Pro in the meantime, until I determine whether I need to fix the code (if we go with the change).
Also.. should the Star badges also only display the highest, or should it display the Bronze, Silver, and Gold stars when you have them all? Right now, due to the poor coding I did, it only displays your highest. Should we get all three on there?

More badges certainly looks more impressive. But easily being ably to tell which badges you need is much more prefered. I vote the streamlined display.

I like the smaller Version, all the Stars should be shown though.

I think the streamlined version certainly looks neater, but then you have to balance it against the hormone fuelled desire for uberness that alot of people who play this game have.
As I have now given up taking my hormone replacement therapy tablets, I vote for the streamlined version.

Well, I've given my idea to Shig in the lobby, Whatever you decide to do, Shig, make it a good one.

Way to go Shig. I think the streamlined version is better.
I'm trying to think if there is a way of organizing them better (order, positioning) that would make more sense, but with so few medals I don't think it really matters much.
Though I think the star also needs to be streamlines (same as everything else), I wouldn't have a problem leaving it expanded (show all 3) until more medals are added to the game.
Thanx for your fast response and effort on this idea Shig! You rock.
