Broken Badges
If your replies show broken badges this:
Thanks for the love!
or like
Note that both broken badges above you see still have the link working! You can always click and get a new badge code.
but not always... sometimes you can see but not click
Generally it's one of the missing double-quotes that brake the badge code, these tiny things: "
Structure should always be:
X="Y"
(open and close double-quotes must be there - see more about it above here)Here the 1st ones are missing
href=LINK_TO_ITEM"...
alt=ITEM_TITLE_HERE"...
img scr=LINK_TO _BADGE_IMAGE_HERE"...
it should be
href="LINK_TO_ITEM"...
alt="ITEM_TITLE_HERE"...
img scr="LINK_TO _BADGE_IMAGE_HERE"...
If there's 1 error, just 1 double-quote missing when you post your comment, the code breaks even more!!! So don't think of repairing after, re-start from 0 is better (edit or delete your comment)
Tips & Tricks
My badge does not update
When you edit a palette or a pattern it can take time for the badge to update.
To make things go quicker, you can edit the name. Even one character difference will force the update. (eg. adding a symbol at the end)
