Updating chapter 11 of user manual

\label{Change_Discussion_Display}

In a bulletin board or resource in which there
has been discussion, display settings will determine:
(a) which posts are displayed, and
(b) which are marked as 'NEW'. 

The default is for all posts to be displayed, and for new posts  
to remain marked as 'NEW' until you explicitly mark them as read.

You can set a personal preference that will apply to your display
of \emph{all} discussions in \emph{all} courses.
If you change the display settings in an individual board or 
resource, by using the \underline{Change} link beneath 
the postings, those settings will override the default or a
global preference you set using your \textbf{Set User Preferences} screen. To 
set/change your global discussion display preferences:

\begin{enumerate}

\item Select \textbf{Preferences} on the Inline Menu or

\textbf{Discussion Display}.
\item Check one or both 'Change' checkboxes in the \textbf{Action} column.
\item Click \textbf{Save}.

\end{enumerate}
