Is it possible to have e-discussions started where replies of classmates are shown on a "board" for all to see?

I'm asking so as to prevent 300 or so separate replies going into my classmates' email Inboxes on each topic.

If I'm out in left field in my question, what other ways are there to have class e-discussions over and above sending out a question on my profile?

Thanks so much.
We love Class Creator.

Have you tried the USER FORUMS? You can create a topic for discussion and then classmates can post their responses in the topic.

Thanks Kyle, I was thinking of going that route, but I just needed a "Go-Ahead Push" for confidence from someone like you. (I just didn't want to be embarrassed "In front of the Class" by a goof on my part particularly since we now have so many joined and we are trying to make only good first impressions without annoyance!)

I will proceed now, without hesitation, with the USER FORUM link.

Thanks again.

Hi,

I do not see a "USER FORUM" link on our class website. We're hoping to have a Forum Topic Discussion later this month.

How do I go about accessing it? Am I overlooking it?

Thanks,
Jon

Under Admin Functions, click on Edit Site Pages. You'll see a User Forum link that you may activate.

Might not be there. The last I heard, new sites didn't have the Message Forum or User Forum. But Scott or Kyle can turn on those pages.

Thanks for the great info! Appreciate it and so speedy.

Jon

Thanks. It worked! Appreciate it.

I need a discussion page where classmates can discuss an upcoming event. All I can find is the 'What's New' page. I need something dedicated to the actual event. I can't find anything that works. I have tried a couple of ideas, but can't delete them after I find I can't use them.

I don't get it, you and others mention a User Forum listing but there's no such thing showing when I go Edit Site Pages. So frustrating if we're accessing/using different products.

Can Scott or Kyle please turn on the 'User Forum' and 'File Vault' sites for me and let me know what other sites I'm missing. I'm not appreciating this "hide & seek game your systems deficiencies creates.

Tim,

A change was made a while ago and admins now need to ask for the User Forums if they want them. I added them to your website. You will see it now on Edit Site Pages.

Sorry, but I also reset your "next steps" menu, so if you finished the "next steps", just go in and check everything off again.

Kyle,
I am using the 'What's New' page with great success. Is it possible to have an additional class forum for discussion of an upcoming event? I've tried using a survey, and some other things, but they just won't work out. The forum is the best way.

Thanks,

Dale

You can only have one User Forum link. You "User Forum" page is called "75th Birthday Connection". To add a new topic, click the "75th Birthday Connection" and click the "Add/Edit Forums" button, then "Add New Forum" button.
