New Contributor Badge Answers

Hello everyone! This is my first post, so sorry if I am in the wrong place. My New Contributor Badge is saying I need to give 2 answers before I am awarded the badge, however I have given about 203 Answers as shown on my profile. What should I do to update my stats to receive the New Contributor badge? :slightly_smiling_face: Thank you!

Hi @imsosleepy

When did you make the 200+ answers?

If very recently, your issue is fixed easily by waiting a few days for the badge statistics to update.

Cheers

Hello @MortenCopenhagen !

Just following up ~ it’s been a while and it still hasn’t updated. My other badges have updated, but the New Contributor Badge won’t for some reason.

@imsosleepy

Thanks for the update.

I’m happy to see that your contribution stats and other badges are okay now. You certainly fulfill the requirements for the New Contributor badge. And I have no idea why it is not shown.

This badge behaves a little differently from the other badges. When you reach more points the algorithm seems no longer to check for this badge. But don’t worry it is in my mind the least prestigious badge of them all.

All the best

Looks like I have the same issue with others in which I can’t earn the new contributor badge even though I have answered 153 questions.

Hello Morten. I have kind a simillar problem - I have answered 100+ questions, wrote 60+ reviews, and added almost a thausand photos / videos, but this badge is kinda closed for me. Could you help?

Hello everyone! I wanted to give an update that I have received the New Contributor badge. I’m not sure what caused the update or why, but after all this time, I now have it.
