[completerunner in reply to Hidden]

The badge is virtual, but if you would like a t-shirt or other garment emlazend with the official graduate logo you can order them here...

[greenlegs Graduate]

I've just done my graduation run - please could I have a shiny badge too? Thank you!

Thanks for this site - it has been brilliant. I'm not sure I'd have kept on this long without it.

[TheMagicalPixie Graduate]

Could I have my badge too please?

[WepreRunner Graduate]

Hi

Just completed the magical W9R3, please could I have a badge, too

Thanks :0)

[melbelline]

I'll let you know in about a month

[Hidden]

Hi - messaged you also - started on Bonfire Night, couple of repeats of W4 around xmas time but finally ran W9R3 last Friday.. now have horrible cough and cold and dying to get back out!

[Bibs Graduate]

Hi - tried to message you but it just came up asking me to fill out items that I'd already done. I did my graduation run on Saturday. Can you give me a nice shiny badge? Many thanks Bibs

[HardleyHare Graduate]

Can I have my badge please? It's taken 7 months but I did run for 30 mins for the third time today. Thanks.

[Lynds Graduate]

Please may I have my badge? Just graduated this evening... (and oh so close to 5Km too - 4.93km in 30 minutes!)

[Bibs Graduate]

Hi - tried to message you but it just came up asking me to fill out items that I'd already done. I did my graduation run on Saturday. Can you give me a nice shiny badge? Many thanks Bibs

[Bibs Graduate in reply to Bibs]

Thanks so much for my badge , I did my first 5k tonight so the badge was the icing on the cake

[PeaBea Graduate]

Is anyone monitoring this site?? You need to provide some better method for graduates to get their badges ie a quick link on the top of the homepage. It is disappointing for them to achieve success in completing C25K but then spend 9 more weeks trying to get a badge. If it is a staffing issue then I am sure some of us regular bloggers would be more than willing to help out.

[Hidden]

Hi everyone,

This is Lora from HealthUnlocked - thanks for the report PeaBea since it was brought to my attention that people haven't been receiving their badges over the last week.

Luckily it is easy to tell who hasn't received theirs so I will go ahead and provide those.

In the future, you can message me directly if the other admin isn't responding or you can click "Report" like PeaBea did.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Lora S.

[PeaBea Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Many thanks for a quick response. Is there any way that a link could be put on the forums homepage to make the process easier?

[PeaBea Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Just Meadowsmower left for a badge. I will go away now!!!

[Hidden in reply to PeaBea]

Thanks for helping out with this.

We can't allow users to obtain their own badges - this is a setting that can be accessed by admins only both because we don't feel it's right for people to obtain them themselves but also because it would require technical development work which we can't put the time into at the moment.

Best wishes,

Lora

[PeaBea Graduate in reply to Hidden]

The message system does not let me send a message to you (so new graduates will also be unable to contact you!!!

At the message page I put in LoraHu (or admin) but when I try to post the message I get an error message saying that I need to enter a recipient. Can someone please check this out. Thanks

[Hidden in reply to PeaBea]

Hm, that sounds odd. Maybe it is a glitch with the browser you are using? Could you try a different one? Just put LoraHU, not admin and try again.

[PeaBea Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Just checked the directory and you are not listed.

[Hidden in reply to PeaBea]

It's because I'm an employee of HealthUnlocked so I'm not listed in the directory. But if you just go to send a message you can type in LoraHU to the right.

I'll just send you a message that you can reply to. Will probably be easier.

[PeaBea Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Using LoraHU doesn't work (and others have had similar problems using the message page). The error message comes up in the title screen.

The Fitness Editor is listed in the Directory along with JR21 who used to provide admin support for this forum.

[Hidden in reply to PeaBea]

In order to look into that issue I'll need you to tell me what browser you are using.

The other 2 would be listed in the directory because they are admins for this community in particular. I am an employee of HealthUnlocked, so it's different. I'm part of every community on our whole platform (which is about 200 others).

[Bibs Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Many thanks Lora

[Fingalo Graduate]

Can I get mine please? I sent Lora a message but I see there may be issues with receiving them so thought I'd log it here just in case.

[TheEditor]

I've been waiting for you to finish Fingalo! Congratulations! Here you go...

Can I please have my shiny green badge?

I completed my last run of the C25k on 20th January and nailed the 5k in 30 min a few days later. I was chuffed to bits as I set out to do it by the time I hit my 50th and it all came good. The podcasts were invaluable as is this community - great inspiration. Thankyou
