speedrun the badges!

If you receive reply notifications by email, just reply to the email notification itself rather than replying on the forum. It will show up as a reply on the site but will have a small email icon beside it like SandyFrank’s above.

Arghhhh technological stuff and things

[ArtCrow]

Let’s see if this works for me, @ArtCrow

[MichaelRobertson]

Based on this, I don’t think you can @ yourself and get there:

speedrun the badges!

Finally! Let me @SandyFrank myself to trigger an email and see if it works at last for me. EDIT: Hmm, may not work when one is the poster themself. Will have to wait for an organic occurrence of an email notification.

[ArtCrow]

You’re right. Worth a try.

[ArtCrow]

Let’s see if this post helps, @Jonathan_Eckley get that badge!

[Jonathan_Eckley]

Boop attempt incoming.

I’ve been trying to work out the “Share” function too. I’m wondering if the blue button that copies the link has to be used instead of just copying and pasting the link as I usually do.
Test from “What’cha Reading?”
EDIT: No, apparently that doesn’t made a difference.
EDIT 2: I also tried inviting myself to a topic via email, using a different address. That doesn’t seem to unlock it either.

[ArtCrow]

Hello! Thank you!

[ArtCrow]

Heyhey! It worked! Glad to help!

[AdamSmith]

Maybe the “share” badge requires using the “invite” function? What if I try to post an invite link to the fan art thread: Mystery Science Discourse 3000

LOL, looks like another day and you’ll be in, my friend. Day 50 is the day your status should change.

PS - We still don’t know where the private lounge is located.

You can have your private lounge. I’m still wondering where the advanced user tutorial is.

Sure, if you tell me how you earned the “Read Guidelines” badge. I know it isn’t as easy as simply reading the guidelines because I did that. How to get “Licensed”: (click on the blurred spoiler text)

Here’s the Cliff Note version

How to get “Licensed”:

send a message to @discobot saying “start advanced tutorial”

The text for the share badge seems to suggest using the “share” button, whatever that is. Sometimes the badge names don’t really describe well enough what they are. For example, I didn’t get the first link badge by adding a link to a post, even though I made a big deal about it. It came by accident when I added a link to a post that was to another post rather than to something on a different website.

ITT: TOP Recommended Sci Fi Series

[MV5BMjM4ZTVkODctNGZhNC00NWY5LWJkMjEtYmI1ZDg2Yjg2NDQzXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjcyNjcyMzQ@.V1] I have to start with this absolute banger of a show. I have been a lifelong Heinlein fan and this series is very much obviously inspired by some of his best works (Starship Troopers, The Moon is A Harsh Mistress, Stranger in a Strange Land etc) I was a late adopter of this show but I must admit that it rapidly has become one of my all time favorite Sci Fi properties of all time [stargate_sg-1_cast] I can on…

For whatever it’s worth, I have tried everything I can think of to get the First Share badge to work. Since there are only three users with it and there has been a lot of sharing going on all over the place, I’m at a loss.
