I just completed two new badges this morning. I started with 5 badges, including two "Quick Start" badges, and completed two modules of the Admin Beginner trail. The new badges are displaying on my profile, but the two "Quick Start" badges are gone:


However, on the home page, it stills says that I have 7 badges (although there are negative two active modules!):



And when I check on those Quick Start modules, I can see that they're checked off:



This appears to be a bug and not user error. Anyone else seeing this? I'll provide an update if the badge count reconciles.

I am on the final step of the Lightning Connect trail: Integrating External Data. I am attempting the challenge at the end of the lesson, but receiving the following error:

Challenge not yet complete... here's what's wrong:
There was an unexpected error while verifying this challenge. Usually this is due to some pre-existing configuration or code in the challenge Org. We recommend using a new Developer Edition (DE) to check this challenge. If you're using a new DE and seeing this error, please post to the developer forums and reference error id: FJSRCBZN

I created a new dev org, logged out of the previous dev org in Trailhead, and reconnected with the new one. I then attemped the challenge again with the new, completely untouched dev org and received the same error. I was so close to completing the entire Lightning Connect trail! Anyone else seen this error?

When I first tried this challenge I was not successful and was having a difficult time trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. The error I received when checking the challenge was:
 
I was thrown off becuase one of the criteria for the challenge is:

• The custom button must be named 'Google Link'.

But "Google Link" is not a valid name. I believe this shiould instead state that the *label* should be "Google Link". Ultimately I passed the challenge once I realized that I had created a link instead of a button.
