AI Thread Summary
Sharing a link to Physics Forums (PF) on Facebook may not directly qualify someone for a Gold Membership. Gold Membership offers various benefits, which can be explored in detail on the PF website. The membership fee is relatively low compared to everyday expenses, making it an accessible option for many. The funds generated from Gold Memberships are reinvested into the site to enhance its features and services. Supporting PF through a Gold Membership contributes to its ongoing development and improvement.

Just a thought on Gold Membership here at PF, most people will drop more money on a single trip through their local fast food drive-through than they would for a Gold Membership. That being said, everyone should seriously consider the "Gold option" (with the possible exception of staff as they being volunteers are already putting far more into the site than some petty cash). The most important aspect of the Gold isn't what advantages it gives you but rather What PF does with the small fee, Greg is constantly making improvements that help the site evolve and stay current and I'm reasonably sure the income is well reinvested here... So please give it some serious consideration if your not currently a Gold member. :wink:

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...
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...
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...
