the link to the links section seems to be broken :biggrin: .

also, some of the buttons that are available on the nexus skin aren't available on the prime skin (links, quiz don't show on prime, while the little plus button that prime has to see the entire first post doesn't show on the nexus skin)

Nexus hasn't been supported for ages as Greg likes to remind us. I don't know what's up with the links section but I presume its been abandoned since its no longer available in prime.
 
The Nexus skin will likely be dropped within the next year. Please switch to prime :)
 
ok, not that I used it often... I've only gone nexus twice; it's too distracting for my A.D.D. everything moves and is shiny!

why did the links section get dropped though? it didn't seem to have too much activity, but maybe if people were more aware of it it could be a great source of information. the internet is so over-saturated that it's hard to find all the good stuff; the links section with the rating system and all was a great idea methinks.
 
In Prime, the links section was removed in order to put a link up for the forum rules.

Really? IMHO before that, Prime should include the time of the last post in addition to just "today" so we know which forum to check out. I also prefer Nexus' distinctive header to the bland one in Prime without any logo, but this is only a matter of personal taste, not skin functionality...
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
