You are reporting a problem that has been fixed about a month ago. Since only fixes for security bugs and other severe issues are backported, updates for your forum only contain those. Not everything else that was improved. You are on Discourse from July - with a few important fixes. You chose less changes, so you will have to wait for the next ESR version, which is released at the end of January. > [@Understanding Discourse release channels](https://meta.discourse.org/t/understanding-discourse-release-channels/264400/1): > > ### esr > > ESR stands for **Extended Support Release**. Approximately every 6 months, one of the monthly releases is designated as an ESR. ESR versions receive critical security fixes for a longer period — they remain supported for 2 releases after the _next_ ESR is declared. > > On GitHub: [GitHub - discourse/discourse at esr · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/esr) > > The tag `esr` always points to the latest ESR release. For backward compatibility, the `stable` branch and tag are aliased to `esr`. > > The ESR channel is not necessarily more “stable” than **latest**. It’s more about the idea that the bugs are known, and it serves as a checkpoint for a specific set of features and improvements. With **latest** , there may be new bugs introduced, then fixed a few commits later. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/where-is-the-version/413120)._
