@Jeremy_M

I just checked and now the French badge is gone.  But now, like everyone else, it seems I have every other badge under the sun.  lol

Was ist passiert??  (pardon my French)

This confused me too at first. 😉

@mtfolks Dont ruin my fun, I only have few hours to enjoy them before they are gone XD.

That is what happens when you have a good relationship with Simon ... the bot not @Simon_O the mod, I dont want to put him in trouble 🙂

Congrats to all! 

As an aside, and on a related note, I think PM should look at removing the ability to tag one of your own replies as an Accepted Solution to a thread you yourself has started. I've noticed someone on this list that's started several threads that they then accept one of their own replies as the solution. If Accepted Solutions factors into the rewards system then you shouldn't be able to abuse the system and do that IMO. 

Anyway, folks, don't do that. It's akin to liking your own posts on Facebook. Just... don't. 😂

[zhadj030]

Lmao

I have every badge in this community , I am even becoming a Oracle XD 

@Jeremy_M please take a look at this glitch. Hahah

I seem to have earned 200 badges , literally

@will13am, @mimmo, @ShawnC13 I am apparently way ahead of you guys .XD

[xCameron94x]

Congrats everyone! Little bit of a slower month, but I hope everyone had a great summer

[zhadj030]

Congrats to you all . This month was a bit quiet so good to see you all still here XD

[denkom]

I just earned my first community reward! Woot woot!

[mimmo]

@Jeremy_M  i now see every single badge like shawn mentioned. they just dont have dates assosiated to them (ie not earned)

[domenicocortez]

Ehh, nice badge, avec une fleur de lys, bonne idée...

Bonne journée à tous, communauté anglophone très active!!!

[NDesai]

Congrats everyone. I hope you had a great summer time. Thanks for still hanging out here and as always, keep that up 🙂

[ShawnC13]

@Jeremy_M, now I am seeing every badge created it looks like.  I don't hink there was an actual problem.  I think it was just showing you available badges like when I first joined they were greyed out and now they aren't but it doesn't mean you have earned them.  As I hadn't earned the 5% that is why you couldn't see it when you looked at my profile  same with the French one.

[Jeremy_M]

@mimmo @ShawnC13 @SD08 @will13am

Can you check one more time and tell me if the problem with the badges is still persisting?

Jeremy

[will13am]

Congrats to all for making this disruptive service a success.  This community beats off shore call centers.

I have a feeling that a a whole bunch of people had the French-language contribution badge (Contributeur Principal) show up in their profiles.  I wish I knew the language, but unfortunately, I never really put forth the effort in school that I should have into learning it.  The badge shows up in my profile, and strangely, it says that this badge has been earned by 0 people.   As mentioned earlier, there are somtimes community badges that show up in profiles that haven't been earned by the member.  Those can often be noticed by the fact that there is no date listed under the badge.

[mimmo]

@Jeremy_M  I don't see the french badge in the other people profile ethier, just mine and only when i am logged in.  that is why i got confused and asked you for clarification.   mine used to say awarded to 1  now it says awarded to 6 but as shawn noted it is wthout a date.  

[computergeek541]

Great job everyone.  As always, the community rewards are a nice small bonus, but the good discussions and interesting topics are an additional plus.

[Jeremy_M]

Thanks for sharing @SD08 @ShawnC13

Interesting, when I'm logged-in I don't see the French badge in your profile @SD08, same for you @ShawnC13 - I don't see the 5% badge when logged in.

Let me take this one away.

Note: for the new "French Badge" it's awarded to 6 profiles as I back dated them since we started to call out the Top Contributors in the French Community.

Cheers,

Jeremy

@mimmo, I think they used to be.  I have a top 5% that is in colour that I have never earned so not sure if it has changed.

@ShawnC13, I took a quick look at your badges and I don't see any that are greyed out? Can you share a screenshot?

---

@Jeremy_M, you are correct I don't have any that are greyed out.  But I have never earned the 5% badge.  When I first joined any badge you hadn't earned was greyed out but now they all seem to be in colour and the only way to tell if you have earned it is by if there is a date under the badge.

[X-Files]

Congratulations to all contributors!  Thanks to all the moderators for their great work ~

[Chaos_Scorpio]

I got the french badge too. I used to check there but havent for months ... as can be seen by my stats, I come here a lot less often.

Congratulations everyone!

This is easily the most helpful forum I have ever found on the internet, keep it up!

@ShawnC13, none of the badges show as greyed out for me.  They just show how many people have earned them and then show a date when I earned one if I have earned it.

Probably hard to tell for you since you have probably earned them all 😉

@mimmo, I have it showing as well but doesn't give a date of when I earned it so I have earned it.  All badges show up when I first joined but you actually don't have them until there is a date under it for when you have earned it.

I thought they were greyed out if they were not earned its been a long time since i earned one of the regual badgesand don't remember how they worked.
