How to Subscribe to a Discussion Board

There are two ways you can subscribe to a Brightspace Discussion Board. One way is to subscribe to the entire Forum or Topic. In this method, anytime anyone posts under the Forum or Topic, you will receive an email alert. The second way is to subscribe to a post you made and only get alerts when someone replies to your post.
