ANGEL message boards must be converted to discussion forums before January 21, 2009
While message boards can be converted to discussion forums currently in ANGEL 7.1, when ANGEL is upgraded to 7.3 following the spring semester it will no longer be possible to convert message boards to discussion forums.
ANGEL message boards are no longer supported. The message board tool was phased out in May 2007 and replaced by the discussion forum tool. While message boards can be converted to discussion forums currently in ANGEL 7.1, when ANGEL is upgraded to 7.3 following the spring semester it will no longer be possible to convert message boards to discussion forums. For this reason, all remaining message boards in all courses and groups must be converted to discussion forums before fall 2007 courses and inactive groups are archived on January 21, 2009.
If you wish to have a message board restored from any course or group that has already been archived, you must request this archive from ANGEL support before the end of the spring semester and convert the message board to a discussion forum.
To review the original announcement for the phase-out and instructions to convert a message board to a discussion forum, see the Help and Information Guide article at http://angelkb.ais.psu.edu/article.asp?article=1578&p=2. For any questions, contact ANGEL support at angelsupport@psu.edu.
