While having the version next to the users name can be helpful,
It kind of becomes “un-helpful” when looking at an old post by the user. They may have said things that were true about the version they were on when they posted, but now old posts show they current version.
Another reader may see a solution, but think it wouldn’t work for them as they not at that version.
It would be helpful to have the version that the user is on when posting. Perhaps a separate field? This makes it easier to know what was going on when the post occurred.
If there was another manditory field (like the “Tags”) when creating a new topic.
It would be slick if it defaulted to your current version while you’re creating the new topic.
But this assumes that users keep their profile up to date.
You know what they say about users…
