Three weeks into teaching with this new version,and I HATE the new discussions!  They force me, EVERY time, to go back to the top to re-expand threads.... and in all the years I've been teaching in Canvas and Blackboard, I have almost never needed to see a collapsed set of threads. If the goal of a discussion is to get students to engage with each other throughout the period... forcing the instructor (or students) to hunt for the NEW posts is inconsiderate.

One more set of changes to encourage me to recommend "other than Canvas discussions" to my production teams...
