Use badges to reward forum members as they go from newbies to forum experts. You can also create badges to label members with different roles (e.g. teacher, student).

Create any badges your forum needs and design them to suit the look and feel of your site.

The badges appear on the Members page on profile cards. Then, when a site visitor clicks to view a member's profile, they can see the badge there as well, including the badge description - if you added one (e.g. Contributed over 100 posts).
