As usual Reddit has all the potential links and answers neatly listed before me:

I've been clicking on the reddit provided links, haven't found any badges either

EDIT: Silly me, you have to scroll down on the main scavenger hunt contest page, sign up, and confirm via email first.

am i the only one who can't log in? i tried my old account, then created a new one, tried clearing cookies/cache, tried different browsers, even my mobile phone...

i know it says they're having issues and to send them an email about it if you can't log in but maaaaan.

edit: OK, it worked when i logged in elsewhere on the site first. that one area for login does NOT work.

edit 2: finding the badges only worked on IE for me (not only my default Chrome).

If you're having problems unlocking all 10 badges, you're not alone. There's an overwhelming amount of traffic on the site, compounded by all the clicking around on pages when this contest starts, and there are more problems this year than ever. Yesterday, a message appeared to contact the webmaster if you were having problems, but today just a generic "we are aware of problems and are working to correct" message. Be meticulous for each badge and be patient, you have until July 31 to accumulate all 10. Keep your eye on the prize, RFDers have won full PCs in past anniversary scavenger hunts.

Thanks. I will have to try entering this another day when things cool down maybe. Every badge I find just gives me the same error message.

An error occurred while retrieving the questions. Our Team has been notified and is looking into this and fixing ASAP. Thank you for your patience.

Yeah it seems to still be broken.

When I go to the main scavenger hunt page it mentions nothing about the contest now and talks about some power supply.
Also when I click on all 10 badges through the pages to unlock them, it keeps saying it's already unlocked, which doesn't make sense.

EDIT: Looks like they fixed it now
