Forum Tracking Type

Read tracking allows users to track read and unread messages in forums and discussions.

Note: This setting will have no effect for users with "Forum tracking" set to "No" in their user profile. Users must edit their profile and change "Forum tracking" to "Yes" before they can use tracking, regardless of the "Forum Tracking Type" setting.

There are three choices for this setting:

Optional [default]: students can turn tracking on or off for the forum at their discretion.
On: Tracking is always on.
Off: Tracking is always off.
