Today in my forum, I earned a second “Good Reply” badge, but it said I earned it on April 2017, when I earned it just today. Is there something wrong with this? ---

Isn’t that the date of the post you are referring to? is the post you earned it from, posted in April 2017? ---

I think that I have got the same problem, the only difference is that the badge is the `Nice Topic` one (Not in this forum). I earned it some days ago and it shows that I earned it `Feb 9` (The date I created the topic). ---

> [@codinghorror](#): > > is the post you earned it from, posted in April 2017? Yeah, that’s what I meant. I _earned_ it today, but it says that I _earned_ it on April. I see this, even when I earned it **today** ![39%20PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/e/d/ed1b1b4f4c4ff24d0d8cc16615218379e525439a.png) ---

Yeah I’m not sure. It does seem it should be the date earned not the topic date @sam. ---

On your forum, is the server date & time accurate? (Or does Discourse pull from a time server?) ---

This is super tricky, to get the date correctly we need to query the 25th like on the post and use that date. This is prohibitively expensive at scale. I guess we can add a special option on badges for “when granting this badge for the first time always use todays date” but then you can not backfill the badge. I just don’t see an easy solution here. ---

I guess as long as it is consistently one or the other that is fine ---
