I am not seeing the subscribe button on my discussions. It does not give me a drop down to reply or anything. I have been using canvas for the last 5 semesters and this is the first time it has happened. Also on my Home page, the colored squares representing each corse just blinks but never shows up. I can get to my courses through the course tab on the left hand side but that is the only way. Can anyone help me?
