It takes like three clicks to get rid of a notification for a message I've already read. Am I doing something wrong? Or is the Discussion board work-flow designed for…

Why anytime I make a discussion post there is a big blank space at the end?
For some reason at the beginning of this year anytime I reply or make an initial post on a discussion post there is a huge blank space at the bottom.

Live tasks with Brightspace
Dear community, Hi, there! I'm wondering if there is any way to include sort of a live forum or notepad of sorts where students can post and everyone can interact in real-time without having to refresh the page (as if it were a chat). I want to be able to view who posted what but I don't think the 'discussion forum' really…

Discussion - Feedback from instructor
Hi, Is it possible for instructors to know if the feedback they've given on a discussion post using the grading tool has been read by a student? In assignments - there is clearly a way for instructors to see this. But I don't see anything similar in discussions. Please help? -Linda

Associating a Pass/Fail grade item with Discussion
I want to create a Pass/Fail 10 point discussion. I created the grade item first, so that I can make it pass/fail instead of numeric. When I created the discussion topic and assigned a point value and tried to link to existing, the "link to existing" option is greyed out and says that there are no items to link to. Why is…
