Hey everyone, as you may know we use badges on the forums to show who works where within the Bulba team. Last year, we also added 3 fan badges for the Galarian starters.
Starting today, we're moving away from the old system and will be using a new Badge system, which allows us to create badges more easily- and specifically give them to users more easily!
Currently we have no new user specific badges, but they will be coming in the near future.
Until then, please be aware of how the system functions:
You can see someone's badges (including your own) on your profile's badge tab. If you don't have one, you don't have any badges.
If you're on your own profile, you will be able to see these little megaphone icons: these allow you to setup which badges are actually shown on your posts
And it's as simple as that.
FAQ:
Q: I used to have a fan banner but it's gone now!
A: You probably have to 'feature' the badge, if you follow the steps above and hit the megaphone behind the banner you'll be able to get your badge back!
Q: B-but, I don't have the badge either!
A: The system only awards badges to those that have been online in the last couple of hours, and checks this once an hour. Please wait a couple of hours and it should show up!
Q: *insert 10 years later spongebob meme*
A: Still not there? Well, feel free to post in this thread and one of our Super Mods / Admins can manually give it to you.
Q: Is there a limit to the amount of badges we can have?
A: Yes, and no. You can have unlimited badges, but only feature 4 at a time (or 6 if you're staff)
Q: Can I turn off the email notifications?
A: No, not yet. We're working on fixing this.
