@Wrichik Basu when reporting, please mark as done, so others don't get the black hole message
I was not marking because the report might get rejected.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Links in row #90 and 86 are same, even though the thread titles are different.

Same issue in rows 83, 87 and 91. Probably the links in rows 83 and 87 are that of 91.

Were those the ones I filled in for you?

Yes. You had filled in 83-86 after I reported in post #144 in this thread.
 
Shot two more down today.

Oops, after midnite, make that yesterday.

And we need edit access for the sheet. I couldn't set the checkboxes.
I have been editing the text description field manually and appending “(done)” at the end in my Sheets app on my iPhone after answering a thread, I’m speaking solely to the MHB tab tho. The OP in this thread auto-updates to reflect these (done) edit upon page refresh. So y’all start doing that please? On a few I put instead (done - not by me).

I’ve only replied to Laplace Transform problems so far today.

So, on iPhone, you can't view the checkboxes? Or is the problem because you can't see the checkboxes along with the thread title column without scrolling?

@benorin I see you have also taken the time to reply to a few threads that were marked as "No reply needed". This column was added today because some threads had only proofs and no replies are actually needed in those threads. I guess you cannot view the checkboxes on iPhone, which is weird.

What is the diff between the 'Original' tab and the 'MHB' tab?

Hm. I added a column for date yesterday, so we could prioritize newer ones over ones as old as 10 years, but today it's gone.

Now I see that there are different views of the doc:

This is from post #1:
gid=0

This is the one I bookmarked yesterday:

gid=967764645

Are we all editing the latest one? Or are previous edits getting clobbered (wiped out) by new edits?

You still see the Protist thread? I couldn't.

Just after posting, I realized the doc has two different sheets. ne is 'Original' one is 'MHB'. I don't know what 'MHB' means.

I have obviously not read the whole thread.
 
I am finding a number of homework threads in the MHB sheet. I am reporting these, as well as shading them with brown. Request everyone to check before replying to such a thread. I will track these and mark them "done" after the report is approved.

Also request the moderators to send me a notification if my report is rejected.

If others are reporting threads, they too can use the brown shading to indicate that.
 
MHB was threads started by that other website that merged with PF not too long ago. I forget their name. I didn’t see a problem replying to at student’s attempt at a solution with a “Yeah, that’s correct.” From a HW helper so the public knows the work is correct. Edit: even tho I don’t really know the material well, I can still use a table of transforms.
