I am an instructor. I used to be able to see several "messages" (discussion forum posts) when I went to the student user page. Now there is only one. This is very frustrating as I am trying to assign participation grades.
Hello, @lburnham. I assume you mean all of a student's discussion posts from an entire class and not just their posts within a discussion. For the entire class, there is an idea proposal to do that and it has been themed:
[Discussions] See all of a student's posts togethe... - Instructure Community
That same page has links to the process for how we as community members can vote on ideas to improve Canvas.
If instead you are interested in seeing all of a student's posts from a single discussion, there are two ways to do that. If it's a graded discussion, the SpeedGrader by default collects all of a student's posts shorn of context. You can achieve the same effect for any discussion by using the search box on the discussion page and type any portion of a student's name.
I hope this answer is helpful and that you participate in the theme voting once it becomes active.

I teach middle school and my students have recently discovered the ability to play the "what-if" game with grades. They are now obsessed and are playing with it all the time. For the preservation of their sanity I would like to turn it off but don't want to hide their course grade. Is there a way to do so? PLEASE HELP by…
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…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
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…
