Possible issue with Community - Finding "My Discussions"

combblai

After signing into the Community (FAMILY GROUP TREES FEEDBACK - EARLY ACCESS), I would like to find and review my Questions or Discussions for this group. I found that when I access a specific "Announcements" or "Discussions" topic, I have a list of "Quick Links" on the right-hand side of my window. One of these show "My Discussions" with a number of "6". However, when I click on this link it gives me a blank page under the following label: HOME› MY DISCUSSIONS. Going to "My Discussions" under my profile icon in the top right also does not work.

Is this a problem that is specific to me or is this a general problem?

I now see there was a discussion concerning this started back in Nov 2021 but apparently never resolved:

FYI, I cleared my cookies but it had no impact. Also, I am using the latest version of Chrome.

Chrome is up to date
Version 123.0.6312.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I am on WIndows 11 using a new Dell laptop.

@combblai A lengthy thread here outlining how to find your Discussions.

I'm having the same issue. Logged into early access my profile shows 6 discussions but only shows 1 discussion not related to early access. In Chrome…cleared cookies/cache. Windows 10

Thank you for this!

I did some poking around prior to your post and found the following cumbersome approach to finding my Discussions and Comments from the FamilySearch home page:

1. After logging into FamilySearch, click on your "username" in the top right corner
2. Click on Family Groups and select the desired Family Group
3. Click on one of the 3 "Feedback" buttons or links on this page to go to the "FamilySearch Community"
4. Click on "Community Home" at the top of the page
5. In the Search box near the top of the page, enter your "username"
6. In the new Search page, click on "Members" button under the Search box (note: your username should already be in the "Search" box
7. In the resulting list, click on your username
8. In the new pop-up box, click on the "Discussions" or "Comments" link

Now, if you scroll down on the resulting page, you will find links to the discussions you started or comments you posted.

Note: steps 1-4 above can be condensed by just going to the following link: https://community.familysearch.org/en/
