Hello, I’m not sure if I start this topic in right section. I’d like to ask when do Local Guides can get the Budding Writer Badge? I saw in different profiles that you need to write 50 posts to get this kind of Badge. I have more than 50 and still don’t have it. Could someone help me with this problem?

@JustynaMad Hi! Thanks for your question here!
It seems you have posted only 13 new posts as its visible on your profile. Its not about all your total message posted count which shows 75 (New topics + Comments) for me. When You will add 50 new topics I mean new separate post on connect you will automatically get your Budding Writer Badge.
