A user on my forum, who apparently is really into his “Nice reply”-badges, notified me that his “Nice reply”-badge count went from >200 to 36 - and that it no longer counts… I am guessing this a bug.
I got a message from him today. He got a notification that another one of his replies earned “Nice reply”. His badge count also went from 36 to 37 - Later it went back to 36 again. There is definitely something going on.
In his badge list the thread “Just plain funnies” is not there at all - And that’s where he has most of his 10-like-posts - Is the badge-thing choking on really long threads?!
Heh. I think I may have figured it out, but I am not sure. At one point the post was moved to a restricted area - it now sits under a category that only trust_level_1 and above can access. Is that why it no longer counts?! Shouldn’t it, though?
Incidentally, moving 500 posts results in a “502 Bad Gateway”-message…
I don’t know about the “bad gateway” but AFAIK badges that involve posts use the “badge posts view” (as in derived database table). So it is very possible that moving those posts into a restricted category could have removed them from “badge posts”.
By any chance, do you know if the “nice reply” badge is “revocable”?
Well yeah, if any topic is in a restricted area it is no longer a candidate for badges. Category must be accessible by all users of the forum for it to be badgeable.
