Hello there, @mboykin56 ...
I am sorry to see that your question has been sitting out here unanswered for a few months. Unfortunately, most Community members do not have access to your school's Canvas environment, so we wouldn't be able to access your course or that discussion topic. I am hopeful that you've been able to get this issue resolved, however. Usually, you would want to reach out directly to your instructor for a question like this because he/she may be able to help troubleshoot this more with you. Here's a Guide that will be of help: How do I get help with Canvas as a student? - Canvas Community. I hope this will be of some help to you. Please let Community members know if we can be of further help...thanks! Take care, stay safe, and be well.
