Please can someone help me - where do I find the most liked button on the discussion page :-[  I feel a bit stupid having to ask about this.  I have also signed up for the course and looking forward to it.

Hi Didowells

Under the heading DISCUSSION there are four catergories:  Everyone/Following/Most liked/Your comments.

When you are on the actual course page, at the top there should be a bit that looks like this:

DISCUSSION                                                                                      (8235) Leave the discussion
Everyone  Following  Most liked  Your comments


If you click everyone, that shows all the discussions.
Following just shows the people you are following and is perhaps the easiest to look at to start with.
Most liked shows the ones that other people have ticked to say they like or agree with.
Your comments, what you have posted and their replies.

Many thanks groom and purplekat.  I hadn't ventured into that bit before!  All sorted now.

The course is now open so those Downunder can start!  I'm off to bed so I'm resisting opening it,

We were encouraged to use our real names on the FutureLearn course. I signed up using mine - now I notice some of you are not doing so, so I have edited my profile and changed my surname. (I did not want to use my real name but it was recommended that you do so).

If some/many/most are using their real names on FutureLearn how do you know who the rootschatters are? (I didn't read all the introductory comments, but I did read some and noted mentions of rootschat however I did not recognize the names).
