I recently received a notification that I had earned an Announcer badge

enter image description here

But why? I understand the badge I earned on April 25 but I don't remember answering the question Webcam doesn't work in browser…? and I don't see an answer from me or even a comment there now.

This is not a problem but I am intrigued to understand how I've earned this badge. Any ideas?

  • Thanks that clears it up. I had assumed that this badge was for links on a question or answer that people follow. Not links from other sites to questions here.

  • Ah yeah. The badge is for directing traffic to the site.

  • Oh wow, so moderators can find out what the link is =D? I got the same badge a while ago too and was wondering the same thing. I don't even remember posting a link to AskUbuntu anywhere other than AskUbuntu. Please please please, can you tell me what my referrer link is =)?

    @Alaa Hah, no. I searched Google for askubuntu.com/a/*/107450 and his post showed up. I tried looking for yours and I can't find any. :-(

  • @jokerdino haha, well that was one lucky shot mate. Anyways, I think AskUbuntu should show us a link of where we shared the link to the question next to the badge.

  • @Alaa It's a feature request with no response from the team.
