    Just a heads up that our new Money Works course is now available. This comes with its own badge, and the 'Completionist' badge has been changed from 'completed all 6 of The Mix's elearning courses' to 'completed 6 of The Mix's elearning courses'. As we get more courses added, we'll add more badges for completing multiple (e.g. perhaps a badge for completing 8, 10...)

    @Ed_ @Mike I've just finished the Money Works course and the content was great! 

    The sliders still aren't working however and when I press retry on a quiz the screen just goes purple :) 

    Also @Mike the link you have put to request the badge takes you to the course page not the badge request page :)

    Nice! Well done @Eleanor - you don't hang around. :tongue:   

    You're totally right - I just fixed the link. Give that a go. :)

    @Mike No I do not :joy: Lock down has got me learning all kinds of things :joy: 

    The new link works, thank you!

    @Eleanor - should be some fixes now for retrying quizzes, let me know if that works for you :3

    I can't recreate the slider issues, but will have a think about some ways of fixing them :+1:

    That's great @Leila, really lovely to hear you completed the course and enjoyed it! <3
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Want to hurt me… go ahead
    Wish to bully me…I’m used to it
    Want to talk crap about me…go on then
    Want to make me cry…feel free
  • JustVJustV Community Manager Posts: 5,612 Part of The Furniture
    @River you can re-request the elearning ones, but the badges for reaching certain post counts or getting reactions are automated and so will have to be earned again :)
