Timestamp of badges

Just now I found a notification that I earned the "Jackson" badge. However according to the below image it was granted two weeks after I joined the forum in 2015 :smiley: I doubt I can type that much in two weeks :rofl:

LOL.....

:slight_smile:

guess it's a mix up...

Across the board(s)?

My Shannon badge, alarming reminder/proof of time wasted spent here, was notified 24 days ago and is timestamped 10 December 2016. By which point I had probably typed fewer than 100 posts.

For me it corresponds to the date when I made my first post.

Integer rollover.

Replace:

if (int posts == val_Jackson)

with

if (unsigned long posts == val_Jackson)

Perhaps someone should make a bug report for discourse.

Hmm.

Same here I got Edison on the 11th of March, the day after I joined.
Not a hugely impressive number of posts in one day, @J-M-L you take the prize for that.

my account got activated at 16h38

so I surely posted my 25,000 first posts in 7h22

and then another 27,900 in 2910 days... My productivity went way down...

Remember the 5 minute limit between posts for the first 100 posts ? You must have been cheating :rofl:

Nice :wink:

did we have that back with the old forum software?

Yes, we did.

I don't know what the system is now; actually thought it was basically dropped although there are, to my knowledge, some other limits; not sure which ones.

Discourse has a system of trust levels. The main hurdle for new users is to get to trust level 1, although the requirements are not difficult to meet

To post images etc. you need trust level 1, you can get there by:

  • Entering at least 5 topics
  • Reading at least 30 posts
  • Spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts

Users at trust level 1 can...

  • Use all core Discourse functions; all new user restrictions are removed
  • Send PMs
  • Upload images and attachments
