Extra homework templates after using preview post

AI Thread Summary
Using the preview post feature in the homework section adds extra homework templates to the bottom of posts, which can be cumbersome for users. This issue is attributed to a server-side insertion of templates rather than a browser or computer problem. It has been acknowledged as a known bug, but there seems to be no intention to fix it, as it has been raised multiple times. Users are informed that this behavior is a limitation of the feature rather than a technical error. Overall, the discussion highlights a persistent inconvenience for those using the preview function in homework posts.

While typing equations in TeX I use preview post a lot to see if they come out correctly. Everytime I do, it adds new homework templates to the bottom of my post (only if I post in the homework section, of course). This can get pretty cumbersome if it's a particularly long post. Is this due to my own browser/computer or due to some forum issue?

The homework template is inserted server-side, so it's not something that your browser has any control over. Though I presume there is some reason not to fix it because it's been brought up before several times.

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

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.

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 'Site Usability nitpick -- Hyperlinks should be underlined'

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...

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...
