Take a look at our about page I see that it doesn’t have admins some other forums I noticed there were only moderators not admins
AI-generated summary
The discussion centers around why a forum’s “About” page may not display administrators. Encounter initially noted the absence of admins on the “About” page and observed other forums only listing moderators. jahan_gagan explains that Discourse automatically generates sections for Admins and Moderators, with Admins taking precedence if a user holds both roles, and links to discussions clarifying this design (discussion). Jahan_gagan also points out that inactive users (not visiting the site within a year) and those in hidden groups won’s show up on the “About” page (source, documentation). Moin counters the claim about admins only appearing in one section, stating they have been displayed in both sections, providing a screenshot as evidence.
How “Admins” and “Moderators” Appear on the About Page
- The /about page automatically generates two sections: one for Admins (“Our Admins”) and one for Moderators (“Our Moderators”).
- If a user is both an Admin and a Moderator, they will be listed only under “Our Admins” and not in both sections. This is intentional in Discourse’s default design (discussion).
Why Your About Page May Not Show Admins
-
Users who have not visited the site in the past year will not show up on the /about page staff list, even if they are admins or moderators (source).
-
Groups can be hidden from this list using the
about_page_hidden_groupssite setting, which prevents users in those groups from appearing as staff (documentation).
thanks Jahan
