In a bulletin board or resource in which there has been discussion, display settings will determine: (a) which posts are displayed, and (b) which are marked as 'NEW'.

The default is for all posts to be displayed, and for new posts to remain marked as 'NEW' until you explicitly mark them as read.

You can set a personal preference that will apply to your display of All discussions in All courses. If you change the display settings in an individual board or resource, by using the Change link beneath the postings, those settings will override the default or a global preference you set using your Preferences screen. To set/change your global discussion display preferences:

  1. Click PREF on the remote control.

  2. At the Change your Preferences screen, click the Change Discussion Display link.

  3. Check one or both 'Change' checkboxes in the Action column.

  4. Click Store Changes button.
