When the title of a discussion board forum contains html tags such as <font></font> or other formatting tags, the display order drop-down menus used to reorder the display order of your discussion forums will not work. If you ever experience, while trying to reorder the display list of your discussion board forums, that Blackboard is ignoring changes you make using the Display Order drop-down menus, then check the title of your discussion forums for any html tags. Remove the html tags from the discussion board forum titles you want to reorder and the drop-down menus will work as expected. Once reordered you can add the html tags back into the titles for formatting, but remember that if you ever need to reorder the discussion forum list again, you will need to again remove any html tags contained in the titles.
