A number of people (96) on our forums suddenly received Anniversary badges last night - is this supposed to kick in at a particular time, like the anniversary day when the user registered? This obviously wasn’t the case for us because I know many who were suddenly awarded and the chances of us registering on 5 May is extremely unlikely.

I am more curious about whether this is actually working. I only have 10 anniversary badges, but I should have at least 20 (I have always been an admin of our forums). There is a 10-year gap (2005 to 2014). I checked the badges of a few longtime active users and confirmed some received badges in the years that did not.

Did I miss a setting? Or is 10 the limit for this badge?
