Discussion Board Tips
New threads
When adding a new thread, use a descriptive title in the subject field.
Replying
Use the Reply button to respond to an existing thread, instead of starting a new thread.
Compose
It is a good practice is to compose your thoughts using word processing software. It's not uncommon for browsers to crash while you are composing your entry, or when submitting.
Spell check
Proper spelling and grammar is expected. UBlearns has a spell checker built in.
View complete forum
To view all messages of a forum on a single screen, switch to Tree View (upper right-hand corner). Using the option at the bottom of the page, choose Select All > Go. Now go back to the top of the page and click on Collect. Messages are displayed in the order they are posted. A drawback is that you loose the threaded nature of the messages.
Enlarge text
Use the browser View menu to select Text Zoom or Text Size feature to increase the readability of the text.
