[Discussions] Display of anonymous options for discussion forums

[hburgiel]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas LMS

---

I understand that there's a demand for anonymity in discussion forums, and that it shouldn't be possible to disable anonymity once it's set.

However, leaving the top four lines of the discussion forum options on the edit page inactive through most of the life of the forum is not a good user experience.  Can you please...

• replace the grayed-out anonymity options with an indication of the selected option,
• move the anonymity settings further down the page, or
• all of the above.

Thank you very much,
