I am am a professor. I normally can see student discussion posts. For some reason, today I can't see them, even though Canvas says that there are seventeen of them. Help please. Thanks.

Hi @KennethLitwak,
Can you possibly sharea screenshot if what you do see? Is it just a blank white screen, or is there other content just not the student discussion posts? My normal advice in a situation like this would be to ensure both your web browser and operating system are up to date (could you tell us the version numbers of both, if you happen to know that, perhaps look at the Canvas supported browsers page for more info). Running older browsers or operating systems is known to cause blank white screens in some areas of Canvas, but I have not heard of it happening with discussions specifically.

I got local help from a help desk person at my school. Normally, I have enough students to put them into groups. I thought that this would be true this time around. It turned out that when I made the discussion a group discussion, there was no other team and I couldn't access it. When I unchecked the box for group discussion, I was able to enter the discussion and respond to students, my usual practice. I hated it when I had to be in group discussioins. If I knew enough to generate my own questions for others to answer, I didn't need the class, but the professor never showed up in a discussion. I think that's wrong. If the prof is going to be MIA, then he/she should tell Canvas to give each participant the same score. That's what I think. I refuse to be a faceless online grading machine. Anyway, thatnks for the suggestion.
Best,
Ken

He would like to vertically align the dates to the top of their cell, so he uses the Cell Properties dialog in the RCE, resulting in code like this: <td style="width: 15%; vertical-align: top;"> But after he saves the Page, the vertical-align…
I've seen old posts regarding this question. Can Admin users generate pairing codes on behalf of students?
I am working on utilizing the new Portfolio feature for our review of evidence in the practicum experience. Limitations we have come across are that multiple instructors within a course are not able to see the portfolio, only the instructor who created it. Is this something that will be available in the future? Or is there…
It is possible to import tags or other metadata when importing in a QTI file? I've tried everything I can think of, but it seems to get stripped out every time. Are any metadata types allowed? I can bring in a batch of tags questions or manually tag each one. Tagging each one is not an option. I'm using New Quizzes, so I…
Is there a setting where I can hide my students grade summaries on the dashboard but keep the individual category grades visible for them on their main grade page? I'll describe a little below. I want the overall course grade to be hidden from my course image on the students' dashboard with all their other courses, but I…
