Discussions Posts Limit

cyrusxu

Hello everyone,

Is there a limit on how many discussions post we can have in one go?

I am a TA and the professor has asked the students to post 5 discussions during the semester. I have 100 students so I have 500 Discussion posts to exist. currently at around 100 discussions we are unable to proceed further as students have started reporting that they cannot post new discussions.

As a TA i can still make new discussion posts but not the students.

Hello Chris,

Turns out it was a system issue where Students limited to viewing own section(s) cannot create new discussions.

This was raised to the CANVAS team and this was the response
"Students who are limited to viewing users in their assigned sections will find that they cannot create new discussions, in Discussions where students are allowed to create new Discussion threads.

Canvas acknowledged the issue on Wed 4 Sep at 0355 hrs and are investigating the cause.

We apologise for this issue.
