One quality of life improvement I would like to see is an edit this page link at the top like you get on the FAQ, terms of service and privacy pages. It would link straight to /admin/config/about.
I agree this looks a lot better, especially on mobile where even the recommended width of 800 pixels is causing most of the picture to disappear off the right side of the screen.
That’s a great feature request. We’ll take it under advisement. I’m not sure what the smallest change we can make here is that would make this possible. Maybe just a user preference only shown to users who are Admins or moderators? Or, as you say, a site setting to specify the groups to display on the about page, defaulting to Admins and moderators? There are category moderators to, however, so not sure how this would play out.
To be very honest, this is a page we we’ve been wanting to improve for a long time and I’m glad we were able to show it some love, in part in response to requests from customers who needed to update the stats shown on it for gdpr/digital privacy act purposes. However, it’s not the most visited page on discourse so we don’t need to absolutely gold plate it.
