You may not have realized this, but you have posted this content to the global Canvas Community website where people from around the world come to ask questions, review "how to" guides, and much more...all about Canvas. I think you probably meant to post this in a course you are taking at your school rather than here in the Canvas Community website. Here is a video tutorial for you on how Discussion topics work in your course(s):
Discussions Overview (Students)
Hopefully you will be able to post this in your course and continue the conversation there. Good luck to you! Be sure to talk with your instructor if you have questions. How do I get help with Canvas as a student?
