Blackbaord is a learning institution communictions system for lots of Universities for testing, notes, lectures, etc for number of college level programs with on-line learning sections. If you load Vista and use IE 7.0 for your browser the discussion section, when posting new responses to threads the text box for your enty will not appear. A real problem if you're a student and there is a test you need to take or homeork q & a... Not to mention how frustrating it becomese for instrustors trying to post info or study aids and the students cannot respond.

I had to do...
Jeeze, you'd think UNC would have this on their help site or the FAQ for their version of Blackboard...
