Form in Education Zone: How to Post in Homework Helpers?

AI Thread Summary
In the Educational Zone, users are encouraged to follow a specific format when posting homework questions, which includes sections for the homework statement, equations, and attempts at a solution. Some users have difficulty finding this template, particularly when using the Nexus skin, as it is only available in the Prime skin. Switching to the Prime skin reveals the template along with a warning that threads not using it may be deleted. There is a suggestion that the template feature should also be incorporated into the Nexus skin, as many users prefer it. Overall, adapting to the Prime skin is recommended for accessing all forum features.

I know it may be silly to ask this, :blushing: but I've seen people doing it for a while, but I do not really know how to do it :redface:. I haven't been here for a while, so I think it's some of the improvement that Greg or Chroot embeds to the forums.

Ok, here it is. In our Educational Zone, when the OP post his/her question, they usually follow the form:

Homework Statement


...
2. Homework Equations
...
3. The Attempt at a Solution
...[/B]

It's pretty neat, and I really like it.

And so I go to New Thread option, but the form is nowhere to be seen... >"< I must be missing something very obvious, or is it disabled for homework helpers?

Are you using the Nexus skin by any chance? The template only comes up in the Prime skin (I think!).

Yeah, I use Nexus all the time, the skin is nice, and kinda love it. :!)

Changing the theme to Prime one, and... Oooohhhh, it's there, with a little nice warning:
"Use the template provided below or your thread may be deleted." =.=" :biggrin:

I think Greg, or Chroot should also embed this feature to the Nexus skin also, since, probably more than half of us are using Nexus. :rolleyes:
 
I used to use Nexus as well, but many of the PF features are only supported going forward in the Prime skin, so I just got used to Prime. It's not bad once you get used to it.
 
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...
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...
