Hiya! In my forum, we noticed that the badge (here especially “First Onebox”) is given (i.e. a notification is sent) even if the badge isn’t active. This leads to a problem, when the badge isn’t active: the notification link leads into a “not found”, and the badge isn’t listed in the list of badges for that user (that still got the message).
To clarify: Badge notification is sent, even if it’s not active.
Also, probably a locale problem, but when users earn their badges, they are sent a message with the English title of that badge, despite the forum otherwise using Finnish locale.
Notification is, for example: “Ansaitsit ‘Reader’” (You earned ‘Reader’). In other places this badge is named in Finnish “Lukutoukka”.
(Maybe this message should be moved to locale/translation area…)
