Hello.

From my experience so far, people usually tend to use Feedback forum when something is wrong, or they have a complaint, which I find unfair. I just wish to let you all know that you have a wonderful community here, and I quite enjoy my time on your website! You probably don't know me, since I spend most of the time on this forum reading. Hopefully, some day my maths and physics skills will be at a level where I could actively contribute without embarrassing myself.

Now, from top of my head I am unable to come up with any "areas of improvement". The only (minor) thing I can come up with is the fact that your PF app does not support Latex codes, but I'm sure you're already aware of it. I use the app quite a bit (I find it to be "healthy" replacement for Facebook; if I am to procrastinate, at least PF makes me feel less guilty about it).

Anyway... Keep up the good work and all the best!

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. 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 '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...
