I am an instructor looking to copy and paste announcements, but every time I do so it seams to replace my account with a "U". How do I change this so it shows I am the one posting?
Hello @MadeleineTrueba
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with copying announcements. Are you using your mouse to highlight all the text or even your keyboard to CTRL C or V to copy paste? Sometimes you can pick up extra HTML unknowingly depending on how your announcements are formatted or what all actually got highlighted. If you use your keyboard, try pasting it as CTRL SHFT V instead of just CTRL V (CMND V on Mac) and it will keep the formatting the same. This may help. Additionally, you can copy announcements from one course to another:

According to this Guide, How do I use the Announcements Index Page?, "A profile picture displaying the letter U in place of a user's profile picture indicates that an announcement was imported using a course copy, the Course Import Tool, or a blueprint course. Additionally, copied announcements do not include a posted date and time." I found this by looking at a past reply from @kona ... Solved: Announcement question u - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com).
Have you tried editing the announcement, but not actually making any edits on it, and then saving the announcement to see if the "U" in the avatar image changes to your own profile picture?
Keep us posted here in the Community...thanks!

The grade book displays mastery as met when it's only been achieved on one of the assignments. It's not showing positive or negative for the other assignments. (I've…
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
