Discussion comments not showing up and students unable to reply to comments in Discussion

Students are required to leave a comment on the Discussion board but their comments are only showing up in their individual Assignments section of Canvas. They do not show up in the Discussion. Also, students are unable to reply to other students' comments because no comments are showing up. I did NOT check the "Disallow Threaded Replies" box.

How are students submitting the reply? On the Discussion itself, there should be a Reply option at the bottom of the post. Students need to select that before responding. If they are going to the assignment section and opening from there, they might be accessing the submission, which gives a Comment panel on the right side of the screen. That would be why they see it where they do and not in the discussion.

Here is a guide to responding as a student: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-reply-to-a-discussion-as-a-student/ta-p/334

Issues with Discussion Checkpoints
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic".
