AI Thread Summary
The current PF theme fails to remember collapsed forums upon refreshing, reverting to an expanded view. Users confirm that collapsed forums do not retain their state after a page refresh. Additionally, some users are experiencing issues with collapsed boxes on their profile pages, with no clear method to recover them. This suggests a broader problem with memory retention in the current theme. Overall, the discussion highlights significant functionality issues that impact user experience.

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...
