What I have noticed is that when your post in a subcategory, all you can see is the subcategory name. For example, I have a category called `marketplace` and a subcategory called `reputation`. When you post in `reputation`, the category badge shows up like this.

One thing I would like to see is a tooltip (e.x. [Bootstrap Tooltips](http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#tooltips)) where when you hover over the badge, a tooltip pops up saying `marketplace => reputation`.

This would make Discourse a little more user friendly.

Let me know what you think!

EDIT: @Lid proposed an even better idea!
