How do you merge your old account on this forum?
Thank you for your feedback, how accounts can or can not be merged on the Microsoft Tech Community depends entirely on who the data owner is.
Accounts created under a work email address, using Office 365 Azure Active Directory as an authentication provider, can not be merged to other accounts. This is because these accounts belong to the organization and the data in them, and connected to them also belong to your organization, even if the content has your name on it.
If your accounts you wish to merge are personal, i.e. using an outlook.com domain or a custom domain as an alias to these accounts, then we can merge the accounts, once we have ensured that you are the owner of both accounts.
We have an FAQ on account merges here.
You can manage your subscriptions (this is what results in you getting emails) here and you can also manage your email preferences here. If you toggle option 2 on that last link, the Community will stop sending you any emails.
For the case of missing replies, we have had some reports of that after our last release and we are investigating the cause. In the mean time if you go here and change your 'format for displaying posts' back to either Default, or Linear layout then your replies will re-appear.
I did try to find a user with the username TeaParty so I could try to see what type of account it was but no user matched that username. If you want to get us to look into it then feel free to email the email address given in the FAQ above.
Kind regards
