AI Thread Summary
To add a person to a conversation on the site, use the "invite more" button located under the conversation participants block. There was an issue with the "invite others" feature, possibly due to a security setting. The discussion also notes that there is a limit of six participants per conversation. The thread concludes with a mention of ongoing efforts to address potential hacking issues. Overall, the conversation provides clarity on adding participants and highlights a security concern.

See my PM reply -- did that work?

EDIT -- It did not...
 
The "invite others" didn't. I assume the hacker turned it off somehow (private conversation?).

I sent you the Pasta and got the answer you gave which I'll repeat for the edification of anyone else as stupid as I am:

Thread 'Site Usability nitpick -- Hyperlinks should be underlined'

This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...

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...
