I posted this 10 days ago. I solved the issue myself after getting no response for about a day and I tagged Ben in the message. I did post my gripe about no response there at the time as well.
Anyway, I haven’t posted much there since I didn’t think people still read that board. I didn’t know about Udemy Q&A since the course was saying to use the discussion board. Perhaps I should have used Q&A instead.
