Can I adjust the number of discussion posts per page of discussion boards?

I'm new here, an instructor referred by Canvas support. I'm having trouble with my discussion boards as they're broken up into multiple pages. I'd like the option to make all of the discussion board posts fit on a single scrollable page. Please? Thank you!

Hi @dr_Jacqu1

Are you aiming to have all of the responses displayed in a thread? If this is what you would like to do, this guide, how to view discussions as a thread might be of assistance.

If you are aiming for something different, please let me know.

Thanks

Thank you, @oneilllj. That wasn't my question, but I appreciate you sharing this info. I'm familiar with this feature.

What I'd like to do is have one long scroll regardless of the length or number of posts on the Canvas discussion board. Since the updates to Canvas with these new features (with sidebars and collapsed threads and search bars) have been very glitchy for me — I avoid using them and prefer using "Ctrl + F" to search for posts from specific students and/or with specific keywords. Please help!

Hi @dr_Jacqu1

It sounds like that might be a feature request that you could raise with your account service manager. Or once, the feature requests open to the community, you could raise it there.

Batch edit assignment due dates by section
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Change Group Assignments to NOT save if no groups are selected
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
Has anyone experienced the "Empty Course" page for Speedgrader, when there actually are students assigned and active on the assignment?
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
Problems with grading since update
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
