• You cannot delete nor move a topic that has grades.
• You cannot change a forum to non-gradable once it has grades.
• You can delete replies - should be done only in rare cases (offensive posts)
• You can change the point value of a forum or topic, even if you have started grading. Just click on 'send to gradebook' to update it.
• You can rename titles of forums and topics. Upon clicking on 'send to gradebook,' the titles will be updated in the gradebook entries.

The role of the gradebook:

• The use of the gradebook with Discussion & Private Messaging is optional. The grading functionality of JForum does not require the gradebook in order to work. You may enable the gradebook from the onset, you may leave it out of your sites, or you may enable it later in the term and send the scores over at that time.
• Students will see your comments and / or scores in Discussions & PM. If you have chosen to send scores to the GB, they will also see their scores there.
