Dear Susan
Thanks for this post. I have reviewed your account in DB Module 3 and I can confirm that you are subscribed to the '
Student discussion' forum but you are not subscribed to the '
Ask an Elder' forum.
In order to review your forum subscriptions in any module you will need to go to the forum overview screen by clicking on the 'Forum' option under the Activities box on the right jhand side of your screen.
When you click on this you will then see an overview of your forum subscriptions and also your forum tracking options if you have turned this on in your user profile.
So I would recommend that you subscribe to both these forums and then to review your user profile so that you select how best to manage your email subscriptions for all forums that you are subscribed to. I have attached some instructions on how to do this below and I would recommend that you enable Forum tracking and that you select to have a single email per forum post.
Let me know if you need any further assistance with this.

Instructions for updating your User Profile for Forum Options
If you click on your username you can edit some parts of your user profile which will affect how to use the discussion forums.
Click on the option to '
Edit User Profile' and click on '
Show Advanced'
The following options can be changed to get the best use out of the Forums:
Email format (advanced) There are two formats: "Pretty HTML format" (messages will be formatted) and "Plain text format" (plain text with no formatting).
Email digest type (advanced) This setting determines how you receive any posts from Forums to which you are subscribed, allowing you to receive messages individually or on a daily basis.
Forum auto-subscribe (advanced) This setting lets you decide if you want email copies of posts that are added to forums. If you set this to subscribe, the system will automatically email you copies of new posts in forums that you post in, unless you manually override it when posting.
Forum tracking (advanced) Enabling forum tracking means highlighting the posts you have not read yet, which should improve your forum navigation.
