Sorry .. cross post from general.. but no suggestions.


Problem.

We have the site news (Announcements ??) on the our front page, where staff post general student notices.

Is there any way I can subscribe all my students to this forum.   Posting by students is disabled, and hence they have to manually subscribe to get an an email.

I cannot see a way to get the standard forum settings for this site news forum on the front page.

I notice there is an announcements block .. Not sure how it works.... but it seems to have the functionality I want .. but then I would lose 10 years of posts..

Are we talking a database hack ?

Please do not post the same question in multiple forums - it is of no benefit and only fragments the support you receive as well as making it more difficult for other users to find the correct information in the future when they do a search (from moodle.org site policy: https://moodle.org/mod/page/view.php?id=7080)
