Thanks for bringing this up.  I have created a ticket for the engineering team that maintains the community site to fix this.  I don't have access to change this myself, but I suspect that this is a leftover link from a previous configuration of the site.

Sorry for the inconvenience, thanks again for reporting it.

Hi @Scott Beeson , where did you access the first image exactly?

You can get to that link from the breadcrumb nav on any page.

[Jack Brickey]

Thanks. I will escalate. I think they did away with discussions in favor of simply using questions except in interest groups but not 100% sure.

From the main page: https://community.atlassian.com/

You can still do this:

But from other pages the discussion option is missing:

It is interesting that Confluence seems to be different than Jira.

[Jack Brickey]

Yes indeed from the main menu but I believe that falls into a different Community collection vs. product specific. Maybe?

[Scott Beeson]

Yep. I checked other products and they all seem to look more like Jira. They have a description and no link to ask a question or start a discussion.
