ARCHIVED: Using Oncourse, how can I tell when someone adds a new message or forum posting?
You can see the number of new messages or forum postings from either My Workspace or your site's Home page. You can also set your preferences for whether or not you get email notification of new messages or new postings in forum conversations you have contributed to.
My Workspace
To see if someone has added a new message or forum posting to one of your sites, go to your Home page in My Workspace. Under "Message Center Notifications", you'll see a list of your sites, and the number of new messages and forum postings for each. If there are no new messages or forum postings, you'll see "none" beside your site. (Sites in which neither Messages nor Forums is turned on will not appear in the list, nor will sites that have been hidden.)
