AI Thread Summary
A bug has been identified in the subscribe function of the updated PF format, specifically affecting users when they perform searches with specific keywords. While subscribing works in general browsing mode, the option disappears when using the search feature, leaving users unable to subscribe to threads. The issue has been reported primarily by users on the iOS app. Clarification is sought on whether others are experiencing the same problem across different platforms. This glitch may hinder user engagement and thread tracking in the forum.

I might have found a bug in the subscribe function of the updated PF format.
I'm easily able to subscribe to a thread in the general "browsing" mode. However, when I utilize a specific search word to narrow my browsing options, the bar with the subscription star is lost and there is no "subscribe" option available in the drop down menu.

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.

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...
