All about community badges

Badges are a great way of keeping track of your accomplishments in the community. In order to view your badges, select Profile from the drop-down under your avatar on the top right.

Once you get to your profile, you can see all your current badges.

Click View All Badges to see a list of some of the badges available to earn.  You can hover over each badge to get a short description. Grayed out or faded-looking badges mean that you can earn a certain badge, but you haven't unlocked it, yet.  You unlock a badge for the initial action, as you reach certain milestones for the amount of times an action was performed. Some badges are more challenging to receive than others.
