I have a feature request to make.
Right now, my Profile tab shows the following on Meta:
Per my interpretation, what this is telling me is: You don't have a gold badge- if you want to get a gold badge, then write a high-scoring answer- this is a good way for you to get a gold badge.
However, let's say I've gone to the Activity tab and chosen to track the Fanatic badge:
What I'm saying is: I have the option to choose which badge to track. The badge I'd like to earn is the Fanatic one.
In my opinion, these two should be synced- if I don't have a gold badge, and I'm choosing to track a gold badge, then the little message I receive in the badges box on my profile should indicate so. In my example, the 'Write an answer that..." text should say something along the lines of "You don't have a gold badge yet. Visit the site for each day for 100 consecutive days to earn your first."
The same would be true for Silver badges if I was tracking one and didn't have any yet. (It's really hard not to have a bronze badge on most main sites, but I guess I'm including that too.)
I don't know- to my mind, the two seem like they should be synced, but perhaps there's a reason that they're not.
