That's something we'll definitely include in the next release. In particular, when an instructor adds a section, the instructor will automatically becomes a moderator of the class forum for that section. Implementing this is pretty easy - I even gave it as an exercise in my first CS520 homework . The reason I didn't do it in the first place was that it could be abused easily. For example, an instructor can add all the sections (then remove them) to become moderators for all the class forums. After giving it some more thought, I think this won't be a problem because all of our instructors are good people (otherwise we wouldn't hire them), so this feature will definitely be implemented. And meanwhile, I've manually added you as a moderator for the CS202 forum, so now you should be able to pin topics and edit other people's posts in the forum. Thanks, - Chengyu |

This is great! Thank you. I am actively promoting my students to use the forums so that I may answer several people's questions with one email. Definitely reduces my work load and provides a general forum for others to learn and ask questions. -- |

It may be usefull - when replying to a " post " that can have sub-topic. Last edited by gurus at

I'm not sure I understand what "sub-topic" means. If you mean like threads (e.g. Slashdot style), it can certainly be done, though it's not in my plan in the near future. |
