Another bug report from your friendly neighborhood hero :steve:
When I received my first award (woop woop!) I got this from the MyBB Bot... Although it's got a small issue..
Due to no avatar, the ribbon floats in an awkward place and looks broken.. See image;
Image no longer available
So I would say to either add an avatar or edit it so it won't show in PM's 
It doesn't really make sense to have in PM's anyway.
Thanks,

(You should add a reporter award :tehe
Update:
It doesn't seem to be working fine across the forums also.
