Yesterday I just got the Informed badge for reading the new about page, I was awarded the badge, but my badge count on the top still shows 28 bronze badges even though I now have 29 after being awarded the badge.

I just tried that and it happened to me as well.– jackJoeCommented Jan 17, 2013 at 18:58

Hmm. It may be either delayed or site specific, as the one I got on askdifferent is registering, but my SO one (which I got later) is not.– Jaydles StaffModCommented Jan 17, 2013 at 19:25

@Jaydles I got it last night, so unless there is a very long delay it might just be an SO issue.– KDiTragliaCommented Jan 17, 2013 at 19:27

A fix will go live shortly.– EmmettCommented Jan 17, 2013 at 20:26

@Emmett status-completed?– user206222Commented Jan 17, 2013 at 22:26

This is fixed now. The Informed badge, being the first badge that is awarded immediately, uses a slightly different code path, and so this bug came along with it.

Nice! Is this new badge announced anywhere? (here on Meta or blog) Commented Jan 17, 2013 at 22:50

We'll likely announce the new about page in blog post soon. The badge may get a mention.– EmmettCommented Jan 17, 2013 at 22:57

@Emmett you should mention it in the new about page! Oh wait... Also thanks for the quick fix! Commented Jan 17, 2013 at 23:07
