When I try to use the discussion board there is no place for me to enter my text?

To correct this problem, click on "Personal Information" listed in the "Tools" panel on the "Welcome" tab.

Then, click on "Set Text box Editor Options."

Select the option to make the Text box Editor unavailable.

Finish by selecting "Submit."

Note: This will take away the ability to change the font, color, justification, and other similar text changes.
