Just went to nearly nothing.

Anyone else experiencing this? I just woke up, booted up the computer and was still logged in.

Nope.
 
Just caught it. In a forum, thread open, reading, got sidetracked, came back, swing cursor to check alert on another thread, "You must be logged into do that." Out in main forum, doesn't seem to be a problem.
 
Did you check the checkbox "stay logged in"? Technically it probably logs you in again once you are logged out, but it should help. If it does not help, you might have an issue with cookie handling.
 
Haven't had to do that for the most part. Go off, run errands, take a nap, and come back and everything's copacetic. Seems to happen when I'm "deeper" in the menu (not all the time). What provoked the post was that I was getting 15-30 seconds to put together a reply --- this reply, I'm dawdling with just to see if I can get it to bite. Could be my browser for all I know --- it's been getting a little weird off and on from "update" to "update." Here goes nuttin'.

Edit: and no problem.

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...

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...
