Weekly discussions fix?

I’m currently not able to navigate to the Week 06 discussion posts because these are not available in the menu (they haven’t been added to the discussion menu yet).

The categories exist so I can categorize my post, but I can’t access the stream to read others posts and comments. They are floating off in nowhere land.  :

fix-menu

I know how to add these to the nav menu so they can be found more easily, but in order to do it I would need temporary extra-super-human (administrator) powers. This would only take a minute, and I’d be happy to do it for each week if I may be permitted to do so? I can also help someone else fix it. : ) Pretty please can we fix this?

    Hi Bobbi,
    I noticed the same thing. It is hard to find the week 6 chat after you login I am having to type week 6 in the search bar and find it that way.

    I’m glad it’s not just me. There’s a very simple fix that will put all weeks “discussion” areas under the “discussion” tab so we can find them in advance. I see that week 05 was added after it was over, but it would be more helpful to have them all there prior to discussion being finalized (easier to find/read our peers posts, and easier for groups to find response posts).

    Hehehe, glad you like it 😉 — On a random “creative” side note, I also stuck googly eyes to the tape dispenser at work this week. It now looks like it’s got it’s mouth open saying “aaaah” all the time. Everyone who uses it smiles randomly, which makes it a fun social experiment. OCD cat helped sum up my frustration navigating this week and also made me smile!

    Bobbi, I agree with you and thanks for offering to help. Posts are floating everywhere! It would make it easier for me as a task moderator to keep an eye on all of them. Thank you for bringing this up!

    Oh, so we are supposed to add these as comments below the activity and not separate posts? I’ve seen a variety of them showing up on the home page as separate posts, getting lost in the stream of things. The week 05 comments have been organized into their own “stream” under Discussions > W5: Apps so they can all be found in once place

    I was referring to adding week 6 topic to the “Discussion” menu as a sorted category that will display everyone’s posts there, instead of randomly on the home page.

    Currently the Week 06 discussion stream can be accessed here: http://etec522m.sites.olt.ubc.ca/category/discussions/w06-game-based-learning/
    However, only two of the reviews posted has been tagged under this category.

    Just wondering when this is going to be fixed?
    It’s been a month now and I am finding it increasingly difficult to find the discussion steams I am looking for in this WordPress environment.
    Week 9 is not posted in the Opportunity Forecast Forum and if it wasn’t for the RSS Feed subscription I would not have been able to locate the thread.
    This website seems to have ceized all maintenance and tech support.
    Am I wrong in feeling this way? Is someone furiously working in the background to fix things and we just aren’t being updated on the progress?
    Feeling confused and frustrated in this space 😕

    That’s odd, week 9’s launch used to be in the Opportunity Forecast A2 stream, but you’re right it’s gone now and I can’t find it to return to it with my review. I’ve sent them a message and I think it’s fixed now. 🙂

    I just did a new post and tagged it. We haven’t been directed as to whether this is incorrect or not. It’s so difficult to find posts now, so I figured it’s the best we can do under the circumstances.
