AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the 60-second wait time required to report multiple posts on the forum. Users express frustration with this delay, especially when they want to report multiple inappropriate posts in quick succession. There is a consensus that the wait time can be inconvenient, leading to potential forgetfulness about reporting additional posts. Participants note that even mentors are subject to this rule, which adds to the frustration. The conversation suggests a desire for a shorter reporting wait time to improve user experience.

Can is be shortened? Now and then it happens that I see two posts that I want to report (like today - both without any content, either posted by mistake or something went wrong), but after reporting the first one I have to wait - and I don't want to do anything in the meantime, as knowing myself I will forget to report the other post, so I am sitting watching the second hand...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

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...
