Maybe apart from a release/deployment announcement in the Nim Forum, I haven't seen a way to know the actually deployed version of the forum. Therefore, when issues are reported and fixed, users of the website never know if the deployed forum is supposed to have these issues fixed/implemented.

With this information, a user could distinguish between the fix not being implemented yet vs. presumably implemented, but not working for the user. So in the second case, users could report if "their" issue hasn't been solved by the presumed fix or feature implementation.

The version information could be something as simple as the current commit hash, or preferably the actual version number (as long as the deployed version is exactly this version, not the stated version with additional commits). This hash/version information could be displayed at the bottom of the main page or on all pages.

I have checked how discourse does it and they had the version info and commit hash in a meta generator field: https://meta.discourse.org/t/find-what-version-of-discourse-youre-using/104326

Just to double check I looked into what Julia is using and this is their meta:

<meta name="generator" content="Discourse 3.0.0.beta16 - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version 7b5f7b4484db9afc0b7e5cd0bb497b705009e82a">

I think this should be an easy way to do it. We do not really need to have it in the user interface.
