Badge

[imnorunner]

Just wondering if I have my badge yet...and I can't tell so thought I'd write a question! If it doesn't say "graduate" by my name can someone tell me how to get my badge as I have most likely done it wrong!

Thanks

No badge yet.

It seems to have varied a bit who you need to contact to get a badge. There used to be a thread you could post on (maybe find it by using the tags?) Or send a message to nhs_editor via the Directory under Admin. Or when that doesn't work, try the Feedback button in the top green bar.

Hope it turns up soon - it is ridiculously exciting to see it against your name!

When you do send a message, don't hold your breath though. Responses from the editor do not appear to be quick.

Albeit 5 days late, mine's just appeared. Hit the FEEDBACK button (see below).

[Landesman Graduate in reply to con-brio]

Hurray! Mine too. Thanks for persevering and finding out the secret.

I had just presumed they were waiting on a fresh batch from some sweatshop in China...

[con-brio Graduate in reply to Landesman]

Very witting! Congrats on a super shiny, well-earnt badge.

[con-brio Graduate in reply to con-brio]

ooops - *witty*

[Landesman Graduate in reply to con-brio]

And on yours - very well-deserved. (And hope the back's not too bad.)

[con-brio Graduate]

I'm still waiting to see mine appear too... first requested 5 days ago (NHS editor) using the tags and the post greenlegs mentioned, then sent a message last night to Admin (first contact in the list). Going to try the Feedback button now. I notice Alcopop got a badge almost instantaneously... or was that a case of "second time around" on the C25K programme?

[con-brio Graduate]

Mine's just appeared! Hit that FEEDBACK button!

I'm still waiting on mine too it was Easter when I graduated so sent another a few days ago so will try the feedback as suggested

[con-brio Graduate in reply to Mrsbelt1]

YES! There it is! Gosh you've been patient about it. Congrats on a super shiny, well-earnt badge.

Hi all,

The difference is whether you are contacting the site admin (nhs_fitness_editor) or HealthUnlocked. The Feedback tab comes straight to us (5 of us to be exact).

You'll guaranteed get a response from us quickly because we are in the office M-F from 9am-6pm, always on email.

Just thought I'd mention that to clear things up.

Thanks,

Thanks Lora. Actually one thing I suggested in my (failed) message to the Editor was that it would be really useful to have an FAQ menu option. Just to answer questions like this which are asked over and over again by each new generation of participants.

[Hidden in reply to Landesman]

Good suggestion. In the next month or two HealthUnlocked will be launching a brand new version of our entire platform with a lot of new features. One of the features is "pinned posts" where common questions can go and be seen easily, another will be categories so questions/posts won't be jumbled all together.

We're excited for this and hope you guys are too!

[con-brio Graduate in reply to Hidden]

My thanks too...

Have you seen our MalcyMeter for the 5x50 challenge? Just a thought...Contact Malcy for details:

[Hidden in reply to con-brio]

I'm from HealthUnlocked - we only provide the technological platform here so you all can connect to each other (the social aspect of everything). We are only partnered w/ NHS Choices to deliver these fitness communities. Unfortunately I have no hand in the aspects of the programmes, sorry!

If you didn't know already, HealthUnlocked is a network of over 200 communities that are mostly related to specific health conditions and diseases, not too much fitness/wellness (although we are hoping to change that!)

See our directory here if you're curious > healthunlocked.com/directory/

You all are part of a huge network here, over 100,000 users!!

Thanks for the helpful replies.

Yay! It says it
