Badges gone, not counting correctly?
I have been away for ages [booooh! I know]. Some of the badges counters are reset to zero, while others are not. And some seem to be counting in strage ways.
e.g. the sign in timer restarted at 1 sign in, the skimmer (post read count jumpted up to 100 in no time - and I am sure I haven't opened 100 posts today. And the sociable counter is at over 10o replies (which I definatly did not post today).
Is the forum only counting activity from a recent period of time?😵
II__SUSHI__II When Answers HQ was shut down and everything moved to this site, some badge-related data was lost, for example the number of logins. But other counters were intact, like the number of posts; XP was converted to Likes.
The number of posts read refers to original posts and replies; the entire thread doesn't count as only one for this purpose. You could also get credit for subsequent posts that load in a longer thread even if you stop reading and close that thread. The site loads ten replies at a time.
