Title says it all, really. I reported a bug a while back but the forum I regularly use isn’t up to date, so it could have just been a matter of updating their instance to get the bug fixed. But I feel like telling them to just update their instance is unsolicited advice – so is there a way I can see for myself without being staff in any way – what version a Discourse forum is on?
