This is what they had to say about it.
read it from the bottom first.
Greetings to you, Friend!
Thank you for contacting EA Game Support.
You may use this site (Support.ea.com) to submit repeatable game bugs which you can reproduce and provide steps for. Please understand we can't take every bug report we receive unless there are steps to reproduce it for our QA team. "One off" issues can occur in a dynamic online game like Battlefield and the causes for these types of issues could be anything and this is why we limit submissions to only those things players can repeatedly do and provide steps for.
Information you should include in your report:
BF2 Account Name: (No password)
Overview and description of the issue:
Steps to reproduce:
Please include a copy of your Direct X Diag as an attachment with any bug report so our QA Team can review your system specs. Follow the below instructions to produce this report.
Go to your "Start" bar menu,
Go to "Run"
Type in "Dxdiag"
This runs a utility that gathers the Direct X information on your computer. To save this information choose "save all information" this will generate a TEXT file that you can save to your desktop. You can then attach this file to your email submission.
The report and information will then be reviewed and sent off to the EA/DICE QA team to be tested and if found to be an issue, assigned to a developer to be corrected and published in a future patch. If you need further assistance, please let us know. Good luck to you and take care!
Sincerely,
GameMaster Malachite

Did you even read my question???
This is not an answer.
There is a BUG in this game, every body who has earned more than 20 ribbons has the same problem, because there is no more room for more ribbons.
look at the attached screenshot.
you see that i earned aviator and legion of merit.
thanks in advance

Hello
I Think you know by now that there is a bug in bf2 sf , that there is only room for ,i think , 20 ribbons in bfhq.
I have 22 ribbons total (5 are sf) and its not showing the last 2 ribbons in the section below,where they should be, though it says that i earned it. there are a lot of people who have the same problem.
On the attached sreenshot you see in the uppersection that i earned aviator and the legion of merit ribbon, but they dont show in the under section
hope you fix it
