Updated feature: Get email updates for discussions

We’ve just made it easier to receive email updates for discussions that are important to you. If you want to receive an email whenever someone adds a message to a discussion, just go to that assignment’s page and check “Get email updates” under the discussion section.

People have been able to get email updates for quite some time now, but it only worked if someone left a message on your assignment. For example, if a partner left a message on your assignment, you would get an email letting you know. But if you replied to that message on the same assignment, your partner(s) wouldn’t get any email. Now they can!
