James Graber sometimes comes here and makes helpful intelligent posts. he was around yesterday or the day before just reading I think. I have learned from his posts. So congratulations to him for what must be a pretty usual thing, publishing a paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0604080...

I have recently come across a very exciting and intersting flash video about posting and the correct posting behaviour in a forum. It is pretty funny made and even though I know most of the people here are extreemely good posters I though I'd make a contribution...

[SIZE="3"]Counting Game This forum word game is simple. You start of with "1" and the next person posts the number following it (2), the next posts the number following it (3) and so on. No double posting If an incorrect number is posted, then carry on with the correct number. I'll...

has anyone else noticed that LaTeX rendering seems to be working in the other forums but not this one? i might have thought that something was wrong with my browser (Firefox) or OS (Mac OSX), but the other forums seem to be able to render LaTeX math just fine. anyone know what the deal is?

the following post probably isn't going to be so cohesive, bear with me anyway: I'm completing a report and need to combine several sets of results for the same experiment and combine their errors to give a best value - can't for the life of me remember the formulae, i know roughly what it is -...

Hi all, At work we are looking into the idea of setting up a forum much like this one on our intranet to share information amongst our co-workers. I have no idea how much is involved or where to begin. -Is there software that can be purchased? -Can it be done on intranet for only certain...

it seems like most of the posts in this forum get moved to hw. come on now, can't we have any good chem topics that don't have to do with hw?

Does anybody know of a good forum/resource like physics forum that discusses economics (specifically macroeconomics)? Thanks

How do you code a forum or a wiki? Is there code available on the Internet to set up a forum or a wiki? Thank you

I downloade a forum but how can i see my forum on my computer. I not register web host/ domain yet. I want to play with it on my computers first. Can u tell me how to do that, what should I download and where should I put my forums so I can see my forums as I want to see my forums on my computer...

I´ve been thinking if it wouldn´t be more appropriate to change the name of the forum from "Strings, branes & LQG" simply to "Strings and Quantum Gravity". Branes aand strings are always associated and LQG is not the only alternative to QG anymore. Indeed, it seems to me that the alternatives...

I know there is a certain lady that is ace at car diy on this forum, but how many know their lives from neutral ?

a while back i posted a new thread asking for a sticky about how students should really not ask for advice about course content and choice here for a variety of reasons. sadly, in my opinion, that thread was moved elsewhere "to gain a wider audience" though i believe it only therefore gained a...

Hope this is the correct forum for this... :rolleyes: I ran across this today. I've begun researching what companies are doing to replace our current dry cell batteries used in electronic devices. This is the first reference I've seen of a so called nano battery. Anyone with experience here...

I love how this forum uses Latex, but I don't know how to do this for other sites. How can I make it so another site I'm with can use this? Jameson

Mine are just about GD: 1.you're during a hot discussion with someone and your favorite thread's suddenly closed!because someone doesn't care the rules of PF. 2.Some super mentors are off even when they're on! 3.there is no serious subject for some members like myself and there is no funny...

Here's my question of the day...

Question for the "old" members of the forum Hi everybody, This is a question mostly for the older members of the forums or anynone who knows. I was wondering if any important mathematical result has been firstly posted here, or if there is anything interesting that has come up through the...

So for a long time I've wanted to put my own website up and I think I might actually get around to doing this. Only problem is I don't know how to set up a forum. I've read online that you can download free PHP forum generators, but I do not know if any of these are good or if they have many...

Alright, it's 1:42 am here on the East Coast... I've been working on a set of problems for my Math Physics class for the whole weekend. Four have got me stuck and well, I really need to get them done in order to pass this class (I'm not doing so hot) Thing is, all this is Calc C, and I haven't...

I just discovered that LaTex is not unique to this forum. Wikipedia uses it too. Can I add LaTex to my forum? ( http://www.orbitsimulator.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl ) It's a YABB board, but I'd consider switching to phpbb if it only it can use LaTex.

Where can I test LaTeX functions on this website? Which forum? Thanks! :)

I've noticed a lot of people on this forum making the same errors, over and over. It's comical, but depressing to think that some people spend their entire lives asking the same questions and probably ignoring the simple and blunt answers staring them in the face. Can you prove to me...

Hi everyone, as you can see I'm new to this place and this is my first visit. Although I haven't seen much yet, I'm already fascinated with this place. To tell you a bit more about me I'm 14 years old probably the youngest or one of the youngest members here. Despite my age I believe I can still...

I would like to get a rough idea of the education level of the participants in the Philosophy Forum. What is your education in this field? Have you taken courses or have a degree? Or are you just interested?

It would be nice if there were a Quantum Gravity Forum at PF It's rather a separate business from string and in a combined forum with string the buzz of interest in other matters is a mite distracting Dividing might make it more convenient to both pursuits and interested parties (btw...

Is this the Forum for talking about history?

Sceptisim & debunking forum not really debunking new curttting edge scientific theorys/phemonomen, rather a very policitized right wing trash talk from a social minority. Bring back some sort of science or logical reasoning please if possible.
