Note: WebBoard comes with extensive on-line help, so take advantage of it if you are curious, stuck, or looking for a particular feature!
Follow these steps if you do not have a WebBoard account from a previous
Next time you can follow the same process. Or you can go directly
to our WebBoard using the "quick link" from any course page or with

The class conferences are listed in the left-hand frame. You can choose to see all messages in the system, or just the "new" messages since you last logged off (which is a really handy feature).
Once you read all the comments in a conference, you should tell WebBoard that you have read them. Then next time you log in to WebBoard, you can just see the comments that have been entered since then.
To do this, click on the "Marked Read" option. This will list all the conferences and the number of "new" comments in them. Click on the conference you finished reading the messages in. The list will redisplay showing zero messages unread for that conference.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be very careful not to click on "mark ALL conferences read" at the top of the screen by accident!
On the left-hand panel, click on "new" at the top to see only the messages that you have not yet marked read.
Note that you can only mark an entire conference as read, not individual messages.
You may find it useful to have the comments in the "Administration" conference and "Questions and Answers" conference emailed to your regular email account.
Certain conferences will email you all the messages posted in them. Choosing "Mailing Lists" from the "More..." conference will show you these. WebBoard uses the email address in your user profile. You can reply to these messages directly from your email account *if* that account is the one specified in your user profile. (If the mail was forwarded to a different account than that specified, you won't be able to reply by email, only within the WebBoard system.)
Take a look at the options under your user profile and under the "More..." menu. Some of these might be useful. See the HELP menu for more details.
You can also view messages from the conferences through a newsgroups newsreader. See the HELP menu for details.
WebBoard does have a chat feature. You can also page people currently using the system. Choose the appropriate buttons at the top of the window.
