Breadcrumb trail leads to seemingly-blank folder

The Documents folder in course Demo 986 has several document links. Click any one with Edit Mode OFF and you will access the document. Text files appear inline and Office 2007 files open outside of Blackboard. Now, click the first link back in the breadcrumb trail to return to the Documents folder and–voila!–all of the document links are gone. The Documents folder appears to be empty! Now, click on the Documents menu button and–poof!–they’re back. It’s a great way to impress your friends (and horrify students and instructors).

Discrepancy in Reported Course Size

There is a substantial discrepancy in the Current Course Size reported by any Quota Exceeded warning messages versus the Quota Usage summary in the Control Panel. The controlling value seems to be the one in the warning messages. In my testing, I set the maximum course capacity for Demo 986 at 300 Kb. Although the Quota Usage summary showed the course at 149 Kb (49% capacity), attempting to load a 4 Kb file triggered a Capacity Exceeded message showing the course at 299 Kb (99% capacity). That’s not good…

Organizations

I cannot create organizations. No + button appears. I believe it is due to the fact that I do not have admin rights that I had in bb 8.
