Since no replies have come I will elaborate a bit:

The badge “Nice reply” is supposed to be automatically granted to replies that gets 10 or more likes.

[ringling’s bagde list](http://forum.e-liquid-recipes.com/badges/6/nice-reply?username=ringling) says his last “Nice reply” badge was granted May 31st.

I just skimmed through some of his replies and these got 10 or more likes:

He says he sometimes gets notified of a new badge, it goes from 36 to 37 and later it goes back to 36 again…

At one point he had a good deal over 200 of them. Now it’s 36.
