Hi Kate
I cannot see this on the wish list - looking through it again, I am shocked at
the limited functionality of blackboard when compared with FREE systems such as
egroups!! Some of the other requested features are also available on egroups
like repeated weekly/monthly events, etc. This is also where you can set to send
an automatic reminder (or multiple).
Having read the reply from Halyna, I think this feature should not only be
available for announcements (obviously as an option) but should also be in the
calendar (as mentioned above).
And thanks for forwarding my query to BB.
Looking forward to discovering the new features of 5.5 - when are these being
announced?
