Bug needed to be fixed - profile page

Question

anonymous · Answer

Perhaps the counting is wrong, or some problem with my math. I suppose the formula below is correct:
Medals Received = Medals for Answers + Medals for Asking.

However, in my profile page, as attached, the medals received was shown to be 5, medals for answers was 2 and medals for asking was 0. I believe $5 \ne (2+0)$. Thus, something must be wrong.

Even though it does not bother me at all, it would be better if someone can fix the problem.

Usually refreshing the page is a simple option for this. If that does not work, wait a bit. Sometimes our server is slow at adding everything in. If this continues to be an issue, contact Preetha or contact@openstudy.com

Dude/Dudette, you're getting 3 free medals. Don't complain.

thomaster · Answer

Medals for answers = medal from the one who asked the question.

So it doesn't count every medal you get for answering questions, only the ones you got from the asker of the question.
The other medals are only in the total medals received counter.

@primeralph I'd rather not to have those free medals. :)
@thomaster Thank you for your reply. I did not know it was counted in this way.
