AI Thread Summary
After submitting a comment on a blog, a user noticed a brief message that disappeared quickly, leaving them uncertain about its content. They speculate that it might have indicated the comment would be approved by the blogger before appearing publicly. Another user recalls a similar experience where a message warned that it would vanish in three seconds. The discussion revolves around the importance of such messages and their implications for comment visibility. Overall, the fleeting nature of the message raises questions about user awareness and comment approval processes.

I just left a comment on a blog, and after I submitted it there was a message on the screen. But by the time I realized there was a message, it was gone! It was there maybe 2 or 3 seconds. What did it say? Was it anything important :confused:?

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.
