How to turn Forwarding off?

How do I turn forwarding off?

On the page:
Set Name Servers for Selected Domains

under:
Dynadot Forwarding

I previously forwarded my domain and now I no longer want it forwarded. I tried clicking the "Clear Settings" button but nothing happens. I don't see any settings to stop forwarding. If I leave the "Webpage to Forward to" field blank and click "Forward Domain" I get an error.

TIA,
~Steve

If you do not want to use domain forwarding anymore, you will need to choose a different name server setting to replace the domain forwarding. If you don't really care what setting you use, you may want to set your domain to our park page temporarily. Steps on how to set your domain to our park services can be found here:

How do I park a domain?

To park your domain (also known as domain parking), please follow these steps:

Sign in to your Dynadot account.
Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and click "Manage Domains" in the drop-down.
Check the box next to your domain name(s) and click on the "Action" button.
Choose "DNS Settings" from the "Action" list.
On the DNS page, select the "Dynadot Parking" from the top drop-down menu.
Press the "Park Domain" button to save your changes.

Please be aware that it might take some time for your name server changes to propagate.

Well I think I figured it out...

The screen "Set Name Servers for Selected Domains" has sections that are mutually exclusive:

Name Servers
Dynadot Parking
Dynadot Forwarding
Dynadot Stealth Forwarding
Dynadot Hosting

On my browser, the active section has a brown border and the rest are baby blue. In my case I wanted to change from Dynadot Forwarding to Name Servers, so I scrolled up to the Name Servers section and clicked the Select Name Servers button. It activated that section again.
