CUNY Academic Commons

I am having another with my group, and this one is even more urgent because it impinges on my students’ ability to post their assignments today. Two students have reached out to say that when they try responding to the Forum threads, they get this error message: "You do not have the capability to read or create new replies to this topic.” I went in myself and also got the same error message when I tried responding to the topics I set up. Can the dev please address this issue as well so that students can reply to the various topics?

This is the current topic they need to reply to, but the problem exists for the other topic as well: https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/labor-globalization-fall-2026-1976537236/forum/topic/09-23-trade-and-the-global-division-of-labor/

Many thanks,
Nantina

Hi Professor,

I am trying to upload my reading response to the forum but each time I try I am getting an error message that reads: "You do not have the capability to read or create new replies to this topic." I can only see one response from Rebekah at the moment. Has anyone else reached out with this problem? Sorry for all the technical issues this week!
