Can the Combo Breaker badge work properly?

I've been thinking about it for some time already. This forum provides a badge called "Combo Breaker". The conditions to get it are quite hard: you should get 5 badges for 5 different things in one day. Check http://forum.baldursgate.com/badge/combo

And I see this badge hasn't been working properly - in the past we had @Abi_Dalzim‌ and @lolien‌ getting 5 badges in one day and still not getting the Combo Breaker badge. Today @Shandyr‌ has tgone through he same problem.

Of course I understand it's not a big deal in terms of the Devs' attention (we all are waiting and dreaming about the 1.3 patch and IWD:EE and then we have the Adventure Y) but it's a pity that such a hard to get badge is not given if all the conditions are met.

Maybe there's a way to fix this problem? @Dee @Jalily‌ :)

    The only way, short of Vanilla fixing the bug on their end, is to PM an administrator and ask them to manually assign the badge.

    Maybe it didn't count because I got 2 Insightful badges?

    Thanks everyone involved for fixing this problem! It's so sweet to see that even small things are being made better by the Team!

    And congratulations, @lolien‌ @Abi_Dalzim‌ and @Shandyr‌ !

    Got the badge, so apparently not a problem with 2 insightful badges. Yay!

    Had to apply it manually, sadly. But y'all should be good to go.

    Thanks!

    LOL, when I go to
    http://forum.baldursgate.com/badges
    and check the time I received the combo breaker badge, it says

    "You earned this September 2012 from System: “C-c-c-combo!”"

    Lol?

    @lolien @Abi_Dalzim‌ what does it say for you there?

    @Shandyr‌, your link shows this for me:

    @Dee‌

    We have a new member who has to get this badge:

    @Luridel‌ with the new scald playthrough has managed to get 5 badges today: 1st and 2nd anniversary, 5 likes, Name Dropper and 25 likes.

    Congratulations to @Luridel‌ - what a sweet coming to the forum 2 years after the registration :)

    @bengoshi Thank you! I don't think I seem to have actually earned the badge - perhaps it's on the same day as opposed to within twenty-four hours? (What timezone does this forum work in?)

    @Luridel‌, the combo-breaker badge is broken, you get it, when an admin give it to you manually. 'Grats anyhow!

    A note to the admins: @cmk24 should get the Combo Breaker badge: yesterday he managed to get badges for 100 likes, 100 agrees, 100 insightfuls, for the twitter connection and being photogenic. Congratulations!

    You will need to set up an elaborate competition to determine who shall distribute the cookies in your absence.

    Hand-to-hand cookie combat until a single winner emerges.

    Ha! See? Now we have discovered a way how even old forum members can get the combo breaker badge!
    Just stay away for 5 years and when you get back you'll get 5 anniversary badges at once :)
    Hmmm ok... I'll be back in 2022 :)

    Just wait until people start getting the 5th anniversary badge; I imagine there are at least a few people who will log on and get all 5 at once...

    I guess I just wait for a moderator to help
