    Yayyyy, I have three topical badges! Still nothing regarding the number of posts though ...

    Had a thought. Was just viewing the forum on my phone, not logged in so using the new layout. I don't think the medals (rosettes in Quasar's & Lakshmi's case!) are visible in the new layout - maybe this is why MSE have decided to do badges too?

    On some boards, e.g. 'Credit Cards', these stupid new badges started blocking (or replaced?) the "Thanked" counters.

    Add my name to the list of those not wanting the postcount butter-badges. I don't have an avatar either. Let's keep it that way.

    I messaged the mods asking for mine to be removed but as per usual not a single word in reply.

    I love the idea that these are "butter dish" badges ...
