I have just noticed the Badges counter which is somewhat confusing;

enter image description here

Yes I have taken this snap from Jon Skeet's profile. I am sure you will be surprised to see this. He has a total of 7387 badges but the counter is showing only 552 badges.

Now, I know what this counter is indicating.

552 Badges: It indicates the type of badges he has earned. So it doesn't matter if he has gotten a particular badge multiple times.

My Suggestion:

There should be a title which indicates this, like one of the following:

  • Total 7387 badges
  • 552 unique badge
  • Total 7387 badges, 552 unique badges

    And we might need to create a platinum Great Answer badge specially for him, to be awarded when he hits 100 gold GA badges.

  • I wonder there is still no update even after bounty, no moderators has tried to look into it.
