- 7-11-08 nw this is also in 2.4 but I think it should be corrected. in a site with categories & weighting, if an item is not assigned to a category, it is not included in final grade calculations. items that aren't included should appear in (). in the IOR view, they do. in the student view, they don't. and at the bottom of the page, even in student view, it says "Grades in parentheses () are not included in the course grade calculation." I think this could lead to misinterpretation by students
- 7-16-08 nw re:sak-1988 GB is doing ODD things w/regard to listing student 9 digit ID numbers vs kerberos for site info, GB item grading pages, All Grades page and downloaded spreadsheet. it may be memory or cache related and is <b>truly bizarre</b>. it's Jon's problem to correct...

- 7-9-08 nw you should split this up, as they are TWO separate tools. 7-14-08 I removed Messages and from the title. nw anyway, forums has a number of oddities and foibles, but they are also there in 2.4. ie7 seems to have a problem printing properly in both versions (chapter 272). it also has a problem w/a powerpoint icon (chapter 272)
- if you make a change in forums (re-order, add a topic, etc) it can take a LONG time to show for someone else logged in...say I made a change as IOR in firefox and was also in as a student in ie7. multiple refreshes didn't reflect the change for the student. in fact, sometimes I had to logout/in for the change to be reflected. no big deal if most of the forum activity doesn't take place in real time.
- 7-16-08 nw you need to make sure you HAVE sections and have ASSIGNED TAs to the sections in order for TAs to be able to grade forums/topics...even if you have allowed TAs to grade in forums/topic settings. perhaps IORs know this but it took me a bit to figure out.
I did not check the new GB permissions feature to see if/how this affects forums grading. I'm just regression testing now.
