Threaded discussion is not supported. Discussion replies will appear in a sidebar. To view replies, click the number under a discussion reply, and a sidebar will appear. A discussion reply can support up to one additional reply. After one additional reply is posted, replies can be made by clicking the Quote link.

The Announcements redesign includes changes to the interface where delayed post settings are made. Please follow the steps below to delay the posting of an announcement.

To make your announcement available on a specific date or during a specific date range:

1. Enter a date in the Available From field.
2. Enter a date in the Until field.
3. Or click the calendar icons to select dates.
4. To add a time, click the Time drop-down menu. You can enter a time or select a time from the drop-down menu.
5. To reset the date and time fields, click the Reset button. You are not required to enter dates in both of these fields, so if you want to delay your posting but do want your post to appear indefinitely, you can leave the Until field blank.

Note:

• The Available From date is also the date the announcement is published.
• If there is no Until date, the announcement remains visible.
• Once the Until date is reached, the announcement is no longer visible to students.
