Badges and vertical posting

[Scott]

I have a few questions

Does Nodebb support badges? In the way like giving awards? Stating what rank you are.

Is there an option to change the horizontal layout to vertical like other forum boards? To show postbits like location, badges etc

I believe @Nicolas has a number of gamification plugins that are quite helpful

For the second question, you'll want to create or customise an existing theme so that the topic layout is vertical.
