Forum Badges šŸ¦”

I didnā€™t mention it, but it popped up instantly for me, using the laptop, so it may be a phone issue?

Itā€™s strange though as some users have managed it on their phones.

@Cupc8kes maybe it is phone type, like may it works on apple and not on android?

Or it could be even which Internet browsers people are using like chrome might work but Firefox might not.

Thereā€™s also a chance itā€™s awarded when you reach the bottom of the page rather than a time limit.

Maybe it is an iPhone thing? Iā€™ll amend the poll above.

@Ian_Chimp not for me.
I did it all on my phone, stayed on the page for 15 mins, scrolled right to the end, tried it with clicking the 3 link and then without - still didnā€™t work.

But on the laptop it arreared within a couple of minutes reading.

My phone is android BTW.

Iā€™m also on Android and itā€™s not popping. Will try on laptop later

Worked within seconds on the laptop so that seems to suggest itā€™s something to do with viewing on Android that might be the issue

Ah bum, I donā€™t have access to a laptop at the moment so I guess Iā€™m stuck badgeless, though at least now I know the guidelines back to front :joy:

Worked fine on my Android Tablet. So it must be specific Android devices.

Just an FYI for anyone thatā€™s not spotted it: the Forum Rules have had a rewording recently (not sure when, so this may be old news :slightly_smiling_face:). No extra badges for re-reads, but itā€™s low hanging fruit for anyone who hasnā€™t got the Read Guidelines one yet. :slightly_smiling_face::+1:

Good morning Brenna I have completed several badges over the last couple days ie readying posts , flagging a post , and a couple others but have not been receiving the badges :stuck_out_tongue: I also would like to double check that my live reviews have been added :stuck_out_tongue:

@Spennymack I can see your badges, click on your profile picture then your username and then select badges, you will find them there.

Thats not what I said I can see the badges but iv completed a couple over the last couple days that I never received yet

I believe badges arenā€™t always awarded straight after completing the action, at least some tend to get awarded at the end of the day (which is the end of what the forum server thinks is the day not the end of the day wherever you are).

The read ones can be a bit tricky to trigger because I believe it is done by time spent on the post/thread rather than the actual time it actually took you to read the thread. I know a lot of people struggled with the reading the rules thread because they are fast readers and just didnā€™t spend enough time on the page.

The flag one doesnā€™t register for all the flag options. It should work if youā€™ve flagged something as inappropriate though.

As for your reviews, you just need to check the product pages for what youā€™ve reviewed. If the review is there, itā€™s live. If the review isnā€™t there, check back in a couple of days. If itā€™s been more than 72 hours drop customer care a message (it can take 48-72 hours normally but they do sometimes get backlogs so it might take longer).

Thereā€™s also the ā€œSkip new user onboarding tips and badgesā€ setting too, though it looks like youā€™ve got a lot/all of those ones so probably not that useful to you. :slightly_smiling_face:

But if anyone else wants to check, you can find it on your Preferences/Interface page (and donā€™t forget to save the changes :+1:).

Are you still having trouble with any?
