I literally clicked the "Reply" button just as my Chromebook lost internet connecting. Twenty-one minutes of rebooting and logging back in later (my school's Chromebook is slow af), I see that my response to the discussion post has been submitted, with half of the post being the actual "post" and the last half being submitted as a response to my own post when I logged back in. Is this possible?
@HelenaVu I'm guessing that it must be possible if it happened. Can you edit your original post, copy the "reply" into it, and then delete the reply?
@james_whalley No, my professor has made it so that replies are uneditable after posting. Are you familiar with anyone else who’s experienced this?
I am not aware of this happening to anyone at our institution. Maybe your professor would be willing to fix this in the discussion so that everything flows appropriately.
When they turn off the edit option, it is so frustrating! And often not intentional, they just don't understand how, and if your professor did it intentionally, I wonder why?
I think instructors sometimes turn it off because they do not want editing going on once responses have been made to a post, as the context can then be lost. It would be great if they had a feature that would allow you to edit until a direct reply has been added.
