Thank you for your response Katherine. However, I have checked all of those things already. It happens to everyone who is trying to use forums. We can set the forum up. The students can see the forum was made but when they click on it, they cannot see the question or a place to respond.
This is also happening if we try to use online text. You can type in the box and see everything that was written. Once it is saved and the student or teacher goes back to read it, the text is no longer there.
