AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing issues posting new threads in the Feedback & Announcements forum, while other forums function normally. The inability to post may stem from insufficient user privileges, account activation issues, or a bug affecting Contributors after a recent upgrade. Replies to existing topics appear to work without problems. It is noted that higher-ranked users, such as HH or SA, do not face this posting restriction. The forum administrator is aware of the issue and is working to resolve it.

I can't seem to post in the Feedback & Announcements forum. I've tried a few other forums and they seem to work just fine. By posting I mean to start a new thread.

ranger, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

It seems that I can reply to topics just fine though.
 
As cristo mentioned, there is some bug that was introduced with the upgrade in which Contributors have a problem posting in Feedback. Being HH or SA apparently gets one around that.
 
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...
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...
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...
