I keep getting posts to a discussion and I am unable to turn them off. Is there a way to do that? I see that I have 1 Discussion but when I click on that it is a blank page. Thanx

Is this here on Community, or on Family Tree? Can you share a screenshot or the URL of the blank page?

Yes, on Community. Attaching screen shot.

@Tiffany Nash, the Discussion counters here in Community are ...wonky. For example, if you flag someone's post for moderator attention (using the "Flag" button underneath), it increments the counter -- but it is otherwise completely invisible. You can't even see that you've flagged the post, and there is of course no trace of it anywhere in your discussions lists. There are doubtless other activities that invisibly increment that counter, but that's the one I know of for certain.

Note also that there are two slightly-different discussion lists in the Community: there's "My Discussions", accessible either via the Quick Links box in the right-hand column or via the "My Discussions" link on your profile drop-down (what you see if you click the gray profile icon at the top right), and there's "Discussions", accessible either via your profile page (which you get to by clicking your name on your profile drop-down), or via your profile-card-thingy that you get by clicking your name at the top of one of your posts.

One difference between the two lists is that "My Discussions" ignores all contributions in the Groups section, while "Discussions" also includes threads that you started in a group. Another difference is that other users can see your "Discussions" list (by clicking your name at the top of one of your posts and then choosing Discussions), but we can all only see our own "My Discussions" lists. This can make troubleshooting forum issues somewhat, um, interesting.
