What has happened to Communities?

If I am not signed in, the sections under Ask A Question start with the same long list of discussions, many of which are quite old. For example, here is what I see under General and Family Tree:

If I am signed in, the lists change to a mish-mash of announcements from Groups I belong to and are again the same under each category:

If I click on the first one, I leave the Ask A Question > General section and am taken to the Groups > User Tree Feedback section:

I assume that the programmers are aware of this and working frantically to repair things, but what happened?

    We are aware of the mess and are working with the vendor to get it all corrected as quickly as possible. We don't know what caused it at this point but there are problems all over the community.😕
