 1. We've been updating and playing catch-up to fix wrecked BP welcome
 screens (aka About Page) layouts whenever a new version of WP has
 changed/removed styles at least least twice, to wit:
 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5561 and
 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6582.

 2. Then recently, karmatosed brought to our attention that the nice layout
 we had for BP 2.4.0 as shown here
 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/6651/2-4-welcome-
 screen-final.png now needs vertical spacing between feature images and
 headings in WP 4.4+.

 3. In addition, BP 2.4.0 supports WP 3.8.0 through WP 4.4+. The layout of
 our About Page is wrecked in WP 3.8+/3.9+. See screenshot

 We cannot rely on WP's ever-changing styles for this page as evidenced
 above. WP core has done what they want with the styles for what they need
 to show in the project’s About page, and rightly so. This ticket will
 create/adopt/adapt styles for BP's About Page to avoid any more breakage
 in new WP versions as well as in the older WP versions that we still
 support.
