You are already subscribed.. But I cannot see my badge yet. -_-Hi there!
This is expected. Badges will not be awarded instantly.
We are in the process of generating the GitHub usernames of "subscribers" to this post, which we'll use to cross-reference against the verified "finisher" list with DigitalOcean. We will award all badges within 1-2 business days (usually sooner) after receiving your subscription.
Thank you so much for your patience!
Thanks!
Have u got tee from hacktoberfest.?
Not yet
have you?
Why is it saying unprocessable entity when I clicked subscribe?
Try refreshing and trying again!
Thanks, that worked for me!
Hey, sorry for the confusion and inconvenience here — we’ve updated the main post to address the error that users have been experiencing. We can manually confirm that we have received your subscription.
A refresh did the trick... but maybe you'd like to submit a patch to solve this? #lol
#takecare!
Yeah that worked. Thank you!
when will be getting our swags
in INDIA
Hey 19yetnoob (and anyone else reading!),
If you have already ordered your swag, we are continuing to ship out the T-shirts over the next month, however, given the global health pandemic, this may take longer than expected. Please have patience in waiting for them to ship.
Once shipped, swag is expected to take 8 - 12 weeks, or more, to arrive given the current global health pandemic. No updates on the tracking link provided for long periods at a time is to be expected and is completely normal. We ask that you have patience in waiting for your swag to arrive.
Hope that helps, happy hacking!

Thanks Matt for the clarification. Eagerly waiting for the swag :)
I received my swags in the first week of December only
Bro how much it take to get the swag and also do u get the shipment details or track id..plz tell me
My package was shipped on 11th November. I received it on 7th December. Yeah, I got a mail to track the package on DHL's website. There, they'll give you a "Delivery by Postal provider" number which you can use to track your package via Speed Post. It's basically a speed post tracking number
Its going to be the end of this year and I have still not received any update from DHL courier tracking service about my HacktoberFest goodies. The last update was November 13th 2020 after that nothing was communicated.
Please can anyone help me what should I do here. Can you please provide email id so that I can forward my tracking number so that this gets resolved.
PS:- I am from India.
hacktoberfest2020
did you received an email by kotis design? related to your shipping
I too received the mail and the package is still in Melrose Park, IL, US, since 13th Nov.
yeah my package is also in
melrose park, IL, US, since 13th Nov.
Anyway you tried contacting them?

When I click subscribe, it's showing me unprossable entity, there's some error. Please fix it soon.
Working on this! Thanks.
I got this email before clicking here, does it mean it is a scam? I guess so...
The link from the email points to
http://mkto-ab430114.com/n/XXXXX(some hash code at the end).Hi there — This is the official email from the DigitalOcean team — meant to spread these instructions to all Hacktoberfest participants. It's definitely not a scam but that button should direct you to this post. Can you clarify if you're not directed here when clicking it?
Yes, it works. I was afraid to click so didn't know where it redirected to ;-)
Totally understand!
After clicking to this , I came to this post but didn't know what to do next . Please help
I guess that's their marketing click tracker. Domain is property of marketo.com/
Internal Server Error :-)

So if my username on GitHub is grfxguru and my username on dev.to is peterwitham, I interpret the instructions to say it won't work?
Hi @peterwitham ! What's important here is the account associated with your GitHub and DEV profile. You'll want this to match. We've adjusted the language above to make this a bit more clear and provide the path to check before clicking
SUBSCRIBEThanks Gracie, that helps make it clearer. I appreciate the response.

You should check your gmail inbox, if there is not any email updates related to tshirt, it means your tshirt is not dispatched yet.
So, I have to wait or this means that it will not come
You should try your tshirt link again and fill that form and check if your data is received to them yet or not.
Its showing that ur code for t shirt has already redeemed
Is there any way we could get an official embeddable version of the badge for adding to personal portfolio websites, GitHub profile, etc.? Would look really good on a digital resume!
This is a great idea! I've surfaced it to the rest of our team for consideration.
Awesome, please keep us updated if it gains any traction!
Why is it showing
Unprocessable Entity
Try refreshing. Thanks!
How to check whether I had successfully reedemed the badge or not?

Thank you very much to the dev team, I have received a badge in less than 5 minutes.

"Subscriber has already been taken" - I am assuming this is bad?
The subscribe button does not work for me. It just does not do anything.
In the console I see this error :

How can I track my badge
We don't have a way to track the awarding of your badge, but we will use this data to cross-reference with the list of official Hacktoberfest participants so we can award badges, so it's not an automatic process once you hit

i am getting this since 2 week "Subscriber has already been taken"
Could anyone help me to get the badge ?
What this badge actually is?
Hey Siddharth! DEV badges are virtual flair for your profile! We award them for a number of reasons (top post of the week, top comments, writing streaks, one year on DEV, etc) but the Hacktoberfest badge is awarded to those who completed the challenge and have a DEV account. 😊
I guess
they're stickers :)
the badge will appear on your DEV profile if you have completed the challenge.
It's displaying subscriber has already been taken
This means you have already subscribed. Thanks!
Why sign in button is not working?
try refreshing the page
Nothing is happening brother
I have subscribed and it has been past a week and I still have not got my badge :(
You should check email by some kotis design. Which will provide us that swag.
Check your mail
I have subscribed before hand but still not got any mail! How can i receive my badge??
+1
Is this the same subscribe button right beside Discussion Title that what they are pointing to?
what kind of badge is it?
This will be a profile badge that's limited-edition and specific to this contest. To see all existing badges on the site, check out: dev.to/badges
