P.S. We’re trying out a new format for our Community Rewards announcements. Tell us what you think below!
@CannonFodder OK; you are officially designated, by me, to prepare this analysis every month. Though it is a little elitest to leave out the list of top 25% & 50%.

@pm-smayer97, I'm fairly sure AE_Collector meant that recent previous badges had a label or title that included the month and year, separate from the actual date it was earned. For example, December badges had labels such as "December 2019 - Top 10%" in addition to a specific earned date underneath (e.g. 2020-1-15). In contrast, the January badges just issued only have the reward level in the label but not the description "January 2020." I believe you were referring to the earned date, which you see as a day and month because you have your account displaying absolute dates.
@AE_Collector That "11 hours ago" that you saw (will have changed since) is the specific date/time that you earned this badge. It appears as "x time units ago" because your account is set to display relative dates. To see them with absolute dates instead, select that option in the section "Display dates as" in this page:

As for your original comment "Except no month and year tagged onto the badges again", I agree, for the sake of clarity, PM should have kept the previous format that included the month and year in the badge label like they had for December. I'm not sure why there has been such inconsistency in the label over the past year.

Great post @SD08
I was in too much of hurry when I first posted, didn't go back and compare badges from different months to give a more precise description. Last night I went back and modified my post significantly once I was certain that I had not got it wrong. And now this morning I see your post on the subject. This of course isn't the first time the month-year has been omitted. Seems to me there is a fairly predictable rotation through everyone (or maybe just many of us?) receiving 6-8 badges in one month covering everything from Oracle down to top 50. That was December. Now January is one badge but no date attached to it other than when it was awarded. Next month will likely be a single .. dated badge and then the rotation can start over!
Thanks for the "how to change my forum date display format"!! It has been annoying me to no end that older posts get dated as "a week ago" etc. I've even got dates displaying in my preferred method of Year-Month-Day now... thanks again!
I chose to quote significant portions of your post here with intentions of inserting text into parts of it but once again I can't for the life of me figure out how some do that in coloured text. Either I'm just not getting it (quite often) or that is one of the Oracles Only perks!

Correct...the January badge shows the Date earned and the % category but is missing Month and Year in the label...yes very inconsisteny.
And I still think that PM should include the list of earners like in the past...otherwise it is not much of a recognition for them.
Whoo hoo! Congratulations to everyone who is a top contributor! It's been awhile for me, am finally back in the game, as a top 25%.

Mine shows date and month...
@AE_Collector wrote:You may be correct. Mine says "11 hours ago" so that may turn into January 2020 down the road. Not sure though....many times they don't have the month/year title on them.
It looks like there may be a bit of confusion as you two were each referring originally to different parts of the badge.

Hmmm, mine doesn't. Here is the January badge bottom right and 3 of my collection of badges from December all branded with December 2019. There are months with unbranded badges like hpjanuary, months where we get virtually every available badge like in December and occasionally a month with just one properly date branded badge.
