Since a few changes back and with the new Admin Dashboard it became increasingly hard to find the actual Version/Release number of my Discourse installation. It only shows commit hashes and “esr” as a tag, but not the actual version number. It is only briefly shown in the “update required” message.…

Scroll down on the main admin part. Its under system [image]

Note: the sections on the admin dashboard can also be reordered with the “Configure” menu at the top.

Hm, there is no such section in my (default) (new) Dashboard. But I am sure i havent hidden it, so it get lost while going to the new Dashboard layout.. I also dont find the config to enable it: [image]

It was added back as an option ~28d ago for self hosters here: [Bild] Better insights into your community with the redesigned admin dashboard We have added a redesigned system section. By default it can be found at the bottom of the dashboard (you can move this up in the configure menu). [Clea…

my syxstem is a self hosted (based on the Git Docker project) system and I dont see it.

What’s your current Discourse version? I wonder if you are tracking the stable branch/ESR and therefore have to wait until next year for that feature. I think in that case you could disable the upcoming change and use the old dashboard. Edit: found the answer in the other topic [Bild] Better in…

[Bild] Moin: What’s your current Discourse version? That’s a funny question, given my problem :slight_smile: but given the update notification email I followed, it should be 2026.7.3.

[Bild] Moin: so you will have to wait not sure what I should wait on, but sure. My post was mostly reporting a bug and asking a usage question. I guess the answer is “it’s currently broken in stable branch”?
