Time for earned badges to show up on your profile

Hi! Together with nine other individuals, my story for the Advent competition placed ninth in the recent Advent competition. The 'Recommended Read' symbol shows up on the story and since I had earned a previous 'Recommended Read,' that badge shows up on my profile. However, nearly a month after the competition entries were announced, the 'Competition Top Ten' badge has yet to show up on my profile. There are other first-time authors like me in the same competition whose badge has similarly do not show up on their profiles. Can anyone tell me the timeframe one should expect for earned badges to show up? Just curious. Seems to me it should be automatic.

It is automatic but for some reason has not been applied. The development team have been advised.

Thanks for the update, Simplyjohn. Thought maybe badges were updated only a intervals like the end of the month.

End of each month all the moderators and admins biscuit tins get refilled; not much else to my knowledge. 😇

I had the same problem in Lush's sister site. Took forever for the same badge to show up on my profile. Molly had told me that she could put Recommended Read and Editors Pick badges on your profile, but other badges were only uploaded at intervals. Seemed odd to me, but I'm not a computer geek.

After nearly a month after the winners, runners-up, and top 15 stories of the "Advent" competition were announced by Jen, and six days after Simplyjohn told me that the development team had been advised, I've still not seen the coveted 'Competition Top 10' badge appear on my profile. I'm now resigned to the fact that for whatever reason, that badge will never appear - at least for this competition. Sadly, not including the winner and two runners-up, out of the seven remaining top ten stories, six author's are, like me, first-time winners of that accolade and the badge does not show up their profile either. Well, I guess, there's always hope for the next competition. Hopefully, the theme of that competition will appear soon.

It needs done manually and just hasn't been done yet. I'm sure they'll get to it. Unfortunately it's not one I can apply.

Thanks, Jen. Know everyone is busy. Being my first top 10, just kind of like to see it. After that, wouldn't care as much.
