Blackboard 9 Testing

The minute it’s not working, post it here!

Limited menu of a created blog

I created a blog but cannot edit the blog because the drop down menu  does not show correctly. Links below show the menu which is not correct on the bbtest9 system and the correct menu which is from the demo system.

Bad menu on test system.

Correct menu on demo system.

Grade center – interactive view

When I attempt to change from static view to interactive view I get a permanent hourglass. I’ve tried it with standard classes (like MAT), my old Demo course, and a new course Tom created for me. This is true in both IE and Firefox 3.0.1

classes in which student is enrolled not listed in my courses module

Two instances of this problem:
1. A student who is enrolled in many courses sees none of those in the Courses Module including the test course in which I have enrolled him.
2. Diane enrolled me in a MAT course and although I see all the other courses I am enrolled in, I do not see this one.

All courses mentioned above are marked ‘available. I have a screen shot of the student’s account.

In MyPlaces I can sometimes see the missing MAT course.

Discussion Board

In the discussion board, I collected several posts, then changed the order from ascending to descending. When I was done reviewing the posts, I clicked on the OK button, and received the following errors (first error in an org, second in a course):

For reference, the Error ID is 77ed06e9-62c2-49a5-8f26-1d7d08c0a427.

HTML – Anchor links no longer work

I have an organization with a syllabus in the About this Course section, that uses html anchors (links within the page) to allow users to move to specific parts of the syllabus without scrolling through the entire document. This no longer functions correctly in BB9. When clicking on a link, it takes the user to a blank, non-existent page.

Start at:  About this Course

click on link, now at: About this Course > Syllabus and page is blank

Is this something that will be fixed?

Community Tab – Modules still loading

When clicking on the Community Tab, the modules appear to have loaded, but the following message remains just above the Organization Search module:

Please wait while the module loads…

Waited 10 minutes, message never went away.

Currently when you click on MyScholarHome under tools you get this page:

An error occurred in the communication between your Blackboard system and Scholar.
The Blackboard system clock may be incorrect.
If you continue to see this error, contact your Blackboard system administrator.

Will this be available in the production system or disabled?
