I got the yearling badge today, yet on my profile it says I've been a member for a year and a half.

I initially thought the year and a half was my global profile or something but I've checked and my SO account has 1 year 9 months, so I don't think that's the case.

Why have I only just got the badge now?

There are two requirements for Yearling:

  • a year old account, and
  • 200 reputation.

You only now got 200 reputation. Hence why you only now got your badge.

  • Does this also mean, that if your account is 2 years old. And you get 200 reputation, you will get both the yearling badges?
