Hello, dear Googler @DeniGu,
Sorry to bother you.
As per the following screenshot, I was awarded as a ‘Solutionist’ about seven days ago; unfortunately, the same has not been added to my list of Connect Badges.
The main post by LG Bipul_Ramchiary may be referred to here.
Please do what is needed and solve my problem.
Thank you very much.
Most sincerely,
TG
Hi @TravellerG,
Thank you for tagging me. We’ll look into this, and I’ll get back to you. 
So Kind of you, dear Googler friend, @DeniGu
Thank you very much,
Sincerely
Hi @TravellerG,
You should now see the New Solutionist badge on your badge list. Do let me know if it is still not visible on your end.
Hello dear Googler friend, @AngieYC
Firstly, I apologise for the delayed response - kindly pardon me.
Thank you very much - the “New Solutionist” Badge is perfectly visible,
Thanks a million, dear Googler.
With sincere regards
Congratulations for getting the “New Solutionist” badge @TravellerG
Highly appreciate your inspiring words and valuable support, my dear LG friend @ShreyaMusings

Hello dear Googler @AngieYC,
For your Immediate Attention!
On Android devices:
The “Photo booth” links (URL Links) are not working in the Anniversary Photo Booth Post making it impossible to open the booth.
Please take the necessary action as the Last date is 10th June.
Note: The same is working on PC.
Thanks for your support, always.
Regards, with greetings from India.
Hi @TravellerG,
There’s an issue on mobile, when opening a topic makes the whole page becomes unresponsive. That might be why you can’t access the URL. The issue is reported here and we are working on it.
We tested it and the photo booth URL does work on desktop.
Hello, Googler @AngieYC,
Thank you for your immediate attention and prompt response - we very much appreciate this.
Regards
Herzlichen Glückwunsch, lieber Freund @TravellerG
Das hat ja wirklich Seltenheitswert 
Your support is very valuable to me, dear friend @Annaelisa
Thank you so much for your kind words and compliments.

Hello, dear Googler @DeniGu,
I am thrilled to inform you that I have completed posting 500 ‘Topics’ as of June 14, 2025.
Could you please confirm whether I am eligible for the “Master Writer” Badge on the LG Connect? Or do I have to do something more to achieve the same?
Thank you very much for your response.

Hello dear Google Moderator @DeniGu
A very humble and gentle reminder of my question regarding whether I am eligible for the “Master Badge” or not. Of course, I understand you were busy preparing the TraC Champions post.
Can I expect a response once you are free, please?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Regards
Hi @TravellerG,
Thank you for your patience!
There isn’t actually a “Master Writer” badge on Connect. The highest level badge for writing topics on Connect is the “Zippy Writer,” which is awarded to Local Guides who have shared 100 topics. And you were very quick to get that one a few years ago!
If you think that we should introduce more statistics-based badges on Connect, please share your ideas via our feedback form. Thank you!
Hello, dear Googler, @DeniGu,
Thank you very much for your prompt response, and I highly appreciate your efforts.
However, would you kindly permit me to provide you with some more details, please… I hope you will kindly consider these, please.
To the best of my knowledge, our Connect Moderators, Tushar Suradkar and Ermest, had this ‘Badge’.
Unfortunately, while migrating to Connect v3, CM Ermest lost some ‘Topics’ counts, and hence he lost the badge (mostly); hence, currently, only CM Tushar Suradkar is holding this badge.
However, I have 503 ‘Topics’ as per LG Connect - hence, I requested for the ‘Master Writer Badge’.
Hope you will do the needful and help me.
Most sincerely…
PS:

(Do you want me to send this feedback as a Private Message to you?)
@TravellerG You’re correct!
Let me check what might be happening.
Thank you very much, dear Googler @DeniGu
Surely, shall wait for your kind response.
Most sincerely,
Since the discussion is a bit sensitive, I’d be tagging @AngieYC & @DeniGu both. It was 2017 when I got my first badge for the first Solution. It was me, #Ermest and another local guide in the top three.
Here is a link to a screenshot took by me,
From the post - 20 Years of Google Maps | My 8.5 Years as a Dedicated Local Guide
I still remember having 320+ Solutions on the leaderboard when checked last on the previous version of the local guides connect.
I do know that the local guides connect has been updated thrice, ever since it was founded. Could you please check if we can also get those important badges back?
Hi @deepakjhic,
Thank you for your question.
Unfortunately, the number of solutions hasn’t been historically transferred from one version of Connect to the next. This is an opportunity to accumulate new solutions that are helpful to the community at the current moment.
I understand that this probably isn’t the answer you were expecting, but hopefully it encourages you to help out the community as the solutionist badges are being given to everyone anew.
