Discussion and Announcement sections are blank with no add function

Across all my courses the Discussion and Announcement sections are blank. The only way I can go to one is if I go back through my email and find one I can click a link to a specific threaded response. I can go to that response, but not to the thread or the section. I have no button at the top of any of my courses in the Discussion section or Announcement section. I can add an Announcement from the Home page. But it does not show up in the Announcement section.

Hi @CFloyd,

It doesn't seem like we were able to find the issue in the community. If you or anyone else is running into the issue still, I'd recommend contacting Canvas Support so they can take a look at your exact Canvas environment and see what's going on. This definitely does not seem like normal behavior for Canvas.

I'm sorry the community couldn't be more help on this one. However, we are marking this post as a temporary solution to help Community Members find and respond to the newest and most active threads.

At any time, any Community member can click the “Not the Solution” option and then respond in-thread with your follow-up questions. It’s important to include @CommunityForums in that reply so we can restore the entire topic to our list of unanswered questions we check routinely.

Overlapping Scroll Bars
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…

A small pre-submission habit that’s helped with written assignments in Canvas
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
