Choosing the Right Thread Prefix for Your Science Questions

How did you find PF?

Hello, I'm just an enthusiast of both Astronomy and Astrophysics. I would like to ask a question in that section but, I'm new in the forum so I do not know what prefix I should use. There are 3 levels, should I pick the 3rd in order to ask that to the experts? Thank you so much.

Welcome! In your best judgement, choose from

B, basic $\equiv$ high school
I, intermediate $\equiv$ undergrad
A, advanced $\equiv$ grad +

I'm sure the same people will reply no-matter which one you pick, though, so it doesn't really matter

Oh ok! Thank you!

Welcome to PF, @ASTRA225o4

I changed your thread prefix for your thread start from A to I. The prefix designates the level of the replies that you want. Usually you would only use the A prefix if you were already at the graduate school level in the subject you were asking about. "I" is a good catch-all prefix, since replies will be limited to the undergraduate math level.

If you decide you want it changed back to A, just click the "Report" link in your thread and ask the Mentors to change it for you.
