In one of the discourse based forums, I earned the Regular badge, but, it still shows member in the user details…
Look at them!

If everything is OK, why is it still showing that I am a Member and not a Regular?
S_B_2_Go reported that although they earned the Regular badge on a Discourse forum, their user card still displays “Member” instead of “Regular” next to their badge list, despite having set their title to “Regular”. maiki clarified which “Member” label was being referenced. JammyDodger and Don explained that badge updates occur via a background job or JSON file refresh, which is not immediate and may take time depending on forum load. S_B_2_Go confirmed they waited over 5 hours with no change and shared links to their profile and a relevant topic. Don reiterated that the delay varies by user volume — potentially hours or even a day — and advised patience. The issue appears to be a known system delay, not a bug.
Hiya @S_B_2_Go. ![]()
Do you mean where it says “Member” in this screenshot?
From that screenshot I see you’ve set your title as Regular, but it still shows “Member”, next to “Higher Love”, “Gives Back”, as a list of your Badges. Is that the instance of “Member” you are referring to? ![]()
I think that field is updated by a background job a little later than achieving the badge. If you check back on it later, it should even itself out. ![]()
Yeah I think badges will update when the json file updated. That process not immediate it might take some time. ![]()
Yes, I did mean that
Yes, I was referring that instance. ![]()
But I have checked it after 5 hours but still no change…
Is the approximate time ~5 hours? I can wait even longer ![]()

I think it depends how many users on the forum. It’s hard to say when will update hours or a day. I think the best you can do is wait and don’t worry ![]()
