I preferred the master badges to the gold ones, I feel like they were a lot more interesting. I’m kinda disappoint that I didn’t get the master photography badge before they changed to it to a gold badge. I need to take photos of about 10 more places to get my badge but I honestly don’t get to go out much. I try to contribute when I do though. But anyways other than that I’m excited for the other changes that are happening. Hope you’re all having a wonderful day and I look forward to being an active member of this community.

After the Summer, the badges will return to their original shape and wording @PhatDookie , the ‘Gold’ is only temporary (referring to a sports event taking place in Tokyo right now).

Oh ok. I didn’t know it was temporary. But that makes sense. Thanks for the info.

You’re welcome @PhatDookie .
One more thing which is quite important here on the forum: if you want to make sure that another Connect user sees a reply you give, make sure to ‘tag’ them by typing the ‘@’ symbol and then select that user from the list (or start typing the name if there is no list).
@JanVanHaver Thanks again. I’ll definitely make use of this information and share it with other interested users.
