Working of Discussion answered badge under Highlight Badges

[Anmol-Baranwal]

There is a section of highlight badges, under which there is a badge of for Discussion answered.

You can see my profile here that I have answered two discussions but I didn't get the badge.

So, can someone please explain how this specific badge works?

I am not asking solely for the badge but I am rather curious since there is also official documentation here

Hey, thanks for asking.
From my little investigation it seems that they've removed it?
I've browsed a few of really active profiles that should have the check mark for discussions on their profile yet there is none.

It might be because there is now an acutal achievement for answering discussions? Or I am wrong and they are still earnable? You could post link to a profile with it if you manage to find one.

They should update the official documentation. I asked it in the official discussions of GitHub, someone said that:

The little checkmark for discussions answered that used to show up under highlights had been replaced by the Galaxy Brain Achievement Badge.

Visit the discussion at the following link:

Are you sure it has been approved?

If there is still a problem, I recommend going here to ask or see if anyone has faced similar problem
