Blackboard Ultra: How do I reply to a discussion post?

Answer

In a course, select the Discussions tab at the top of the course page.

Select a discussion to join in. Some discussions may also appear on the Course Content page.

When someone contributes to a discussion, an icon appears next to the item's title on the Course Content page.

Each time you open a discussion, new responses and replies appear with "New" to show any activity that's happened since your last visit. You can add a response, reply, or even reply to a reply.

You can use the options in the editor to format text, attach files, and embed multimedia. If you view the editor on a smaller screen, select the plus icon to view the menu of options. For example, select Insert/Edit Local Files—represented by the paper clip icon. Browse for a file from your computer. A status window appears to show the progress of the file upload.

To use your keyboard to jump to the editor toolbar, press ALT + F10. On a Mac, press Fn + ALT + F10. Use the arrow keys to select an option, such as a numbered list.
