Why have I been stripped of my graduate badge? I completed the programme on 10th August 2018, and gained a graduate's appelation. I have made feeble progress since, but I think it is right that that I am identified as a graduate when I comment on others' posts.

Hi!
Occasionally the system does this, which is out of our control as admins. It may be when upgrading work is being undertaken. I have reinstated the badge for you.

You're identified as a graduate on your post 😊

Why have I been stripped of my graduate badge?
Life can be much more fun if we all start with the assumption (when dreadful things happen to us) that there has been an error, or someone forgot, or the system messed up, rather than jumping to the conclusion that someone deliberately set out to victimise us.
If you have read this forum regularly, you'll remember that graduate badges have been known to evaporate very occasionally. The Admins do a wonderful job of investigating and fixing things. Millsie-J thankyou for helping Oldman51 so quickly.
Let's try and keep this forum upbeat and positive.

The graduate badges do not apparently show up on the app.
