The build and git hash are in a `meta` tag named “generator”. Command to easily extract that tag:

`curl https://discuss.kde.org -s 2>&1 | grep generator

Thanks, @dirthsj! That makes diagnosing such things a million times easier:

1. curl https://discuss.kde.org -s 2>&1 | grep generator
   

   <meta name="generator" content="Discourse 3.2.0.beta4-dev - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version 34a859d628b5c0689158a222aca7cb9a817a46c7">
   

2. curl https://meta.discourse.org -s 2>&1 | grep generator

Per Old user avatars in quoted text? - #5 by gerhard, I believe changing the avatar should schedule a rebake… this may take some time and won’t be instant.

If you’re an admin, you can try to manually use rebuild HTML from this menu within under the post to see if that updates the avatar:

If that works… then rebaking is working as expected, but the automatic process either hasn’t made it to all the posts yet, or has failed for some reason.

`[quote]`s use incorrect user avatar after changing avatar - #2 by awesomerobot

@awesomerobot, I’d rather like to be able to mark your post as the solution. Is that plugin not active on this instance?

I didn’t think the quotes got automatically rebaked due to an avatar change anymore? Some of mine pre-picture still show the ‘J’ (though will update if I edit or rebuild html): eg

Though I do remember it being raised as a Contribute > Bug before, so if it is broken I think it may have been broken for awhile:

Profile image changing bug

I think changing avatar does line up a rebake of the user’s quoted posts? I’m not sure on the schedule though. Edit: I am now not sure. I have been waiting patiently for it to magically kick in on my test site, but no joy yet. I could have sworn I’d seen it in action on a forum I’m not a staff member of, but looking back over a few oneboxed and quoted links from there over the last month it appears I still have an older avatar in those. When I searched I fou…

The plugin is active but not in the Contribute > Bug category. After a bug was fixed the topic is closed. If no fix is needed the topic is moved to a different category.

Manually rebuilding fixes the problem for one post. But I would not call that a solution. If there are many posts where the profie picture was not changed, this can be time-consuming.

Also it looks worse if there was a profile picture before, because that is deleted after some time.

This has now been fixed.

FIX: Updating avatar didn't trigger a rebake of posts with quotes of the user (#27184)
