Examples of Buggy Badges Please

[AB Editor]

Dear All,

I know this is dragging on a bit - but we're still rounding up the bugs. We think we've squashed a ton of them, but we wanted to know if you could show us any other examples of badge bugs?

Not entirely to do with badges but best answers still doesn't update.

Working on both of them, ta. Extra examples are handy (even if you end up duplicating) because it can give us a test set to see if we've fixed it.

Thank you.

I don't know about other Badges, but clicking on "Quick Draw" brings up a list of users.

To use an easy one (only 2 answers to check), clicking "God" shows no Best Answer awarded.

"I don't know about other Badges, but clicking on "Quick Draw" brings up a list of users."

It should do that :) it should now be a paginated list rather than a long list which crashes your browser!

I vote for the genealogy badge for those who do that - a really helpful service

The Quick Draw facility does not appear to be useful. Here is a random page - why are the usernames not in alphabetical order?

Not a bug per se, but this really is nonsense: http://www.theanswerb...co.uk/badges/debater/

All you have to do to "earn" one is post "I agree" on 20 or more qualifying threads...

I don't think we join AB to "earn" anything Mark. It's all gone a little mad

[MarkRae]

No, but I can just about understand acknowledgement for a certain amount of best answers in any particular category. However, getting a prize just for turning up really is valueless...

[mazie]

Why? We answer because we want to, not to get some pointless accolade. For me it takes away from the spirit of the site. And, I love this site.
