My discussions doesn't show
On my general page for the forums, where it says My Discussions (16), when I click on it none of my discussions show up which makes it hard to check on them. Is there some way to fix this? Is this a glitch? Everything other category like "My Groups" seems to work fine. I just noticed this one did after being posted outside of a group. A suggestion is to make all discussions even those in groups searchable under "my discussions." Please let me know. Thanks.

There are two separate quirks of the Community that are causing this display confusion: the "My Discussions" list excludes posts in Groups, and the counter includes invisible things, such as flags on other people's posts.
Since all of the threads you started (before this one) were in a Group (three in Italy Research, one in Poland Research, and one in Nordic Countries Research), the "My Discussions" page doesn't show them: for some reason, that page that only shows threads in the main "Ask a Question" categories (and Suggest an Idea, back when it still existed in more than name).
I asked two years ago about the weird behavior of the discussions counter, and it was explained that flagging anyone's post also adds to the total. No, we have no idea why, but it's apparently intentional.
To see all of the threads that you actually started in the Community, go to your Community profile and choose "Discussions" there. (Notice the lack of the possessive pronoun.) There are a few ways to get to your Community profile: on any Community page, you can click your profile icon (the gray circle thingy) at the top right, then click your name on the resulting dropdown window, or, on any page where you've posted, you can click your name and then choose "View Profile" from the resulting popup window.
