I have read the solution to open Player and manually click all the triangles to collapse the menu. Then it will publish that way. But then every time you have any further edits/updates to make, you have to go back through the menu and collapse everything again (annoying), then publish. Is that just the way it is? To me that's like a Jack-in-the-box who jumps out every time I open up the box to tune something, and I have to cram him back into place before I close the lid!
By default, all levels will be expanded when learners launch your course. If you want a level to start in a collapsed state, click the small triangle next to the title in the menu editor.
Okay thanks Leslie. That's kind of what I was afraid of. I'll just have to keep folding down that Jack-in-the-box! It's not that much work, but it is an extra step every time I publish if I want to start with a collapsed menu - and I always do.
I like for my learners to see the menu as a 'summary table of contents.' Then as they enter each section the menu expands to reveal that section. To my mind, this also serves to "not overwhelm" a user who might open the course, see the expanded menu and think "geez, I have all THAT to do?"
Hi John! The e-mail is to notify you of replies to your forum thread, and yes, the expectation is that replies to that get posted to the forum as a convenient feature for our users.
That being said, it attaches your e-mail signature and you are welcome to pop in and edit that if you need to.

No worries John :)
