The Help Desk has reported a student that could not submit a timed assessment using Internet Explorer 8 with Blackboard. The timer box may extend down the left side of the screen and hide the submit button. Professors: timers are generally a bad idea for other reasons that liaisons go into in another post. Students: if you find yourself in this situation, please save the assessment and finish taking it with Firefox.  Otherwise, try clearing IE 8's cache, or enabling Compatibility Mode. (Click "Compatibility View" on the left-hand side of that Microsoft page.) This will let you view pages in IE 8 as they appear in IE 7.

For the smoothest experience and highest level of compatibility with Blackboard, we recommend using Firefox (update regularly but not using beta versions). It's free for all Mac and PC users.If you encounter any of the above, please contact blackboard AT richmond DOT edu for assistance.
