Showing badges below name in forum posts (like moodle.org)?

Simple (I hope) question: Is there a way to show badges below users' names as is done on this forum? I am using moodle 2.8.

Thanks.

Hi Brian,

No, there is no such feature right now. Moodle.org has a customisation to show the groups a user belongs to, AFAIK these are not badges.

Hello Brian and Yuliya - the "badges" you see below names are not a customisation; they are group avatars and you can easily have them in your own Moodle site if you make a group in your course and when you name the group you can also choose an avatar for its members. Then in forums like here you will see the avatars of the members of the group.

Thanks, Mary! I think all I wanted to say that these are not actually badges smile but you explained way better what these icons really are.
