Why can I view the Discussion Board / make new posts?
First, make sure you are using Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer to access Blackboard. If you are doing so and still have problems viewing posts, then you can try turning off the visual text box editor. To do this, click the MSSU (My Institution) tab when logged in to Blackboard, click the Personal Information link on the left side, click Set Visual Text Box Editor Options, select Unavailable, and click the Submit button.
