AI Thread Summary
Users are currently unable to post new threads in the World Cup forum due to restrictions placed on non-staff user groups. This limitation may be intended to maintain forum cleanliness, though the exact reasons remain unclear. Technical issues, possibly linked to a recent outage, could also be a factor. The posting capability appears to be limited to mentors or admins. The problem has reportedly been resolved, allowing users to post again.

For some starnge reason I can't post a new thread in the world cup fourm. I think some other people where/are haveing the same problem.

Yes, this is due to the fact that every non-staff user group has have their ability to create a new thread in the world cup forum disabled. As I am not part of the PF staff further speculations as to why this has been done may prove futile but it could be because they want to keep it clean. Again, this is only my personal view and may or may not reflect the views of PF, its staff and/or administration or the truth for that matter.
 
Technically, Homework Helpers and Science Advisors are part of the staff, but I can't post either. Looks like its just restricted to mentors or admins, if indeed anyone can post in there and there's not been any new posts, perhaps it is simply a glitch related you yesterdays outage. Eitherway, I'm sure greg or warren will let us know what's happening when the get online.

Edit: Looks like the problems fixed, crisis averted!

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...

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...
