AI Thread Summary
Home page category management issues include the inability to maintain collapsed/expanded categories between logins, regardless of browser or cookie settings. Users report visibility problems with category tool graphics, particularly on Desktop Windows/IE11, where images are barely visible, and on Android tablets using Opera Classic, where images do not display at all. Attempts to adjust opacity settings have not resolved the visibility issues. Additionally, there is a lack of expected visual differentiation in category highlighting across different browsers. Overall, these problems hinder user experience and functionality on the home page.

Hey there Greg,

I'm pruning some items off of my observation list to post now. All apply to home page categories - I don't think any have been reported yet, and hoping I'm posting this timely to 'compartmentalize' for everyone.

Easy one?: Collapsing/expanding categories aren't sticky between logoff/login. I've tried different browsers ("Yep", cookies are allowed), and am unable to keep any category collapsed between sessions.

Category Tool graphics:
1) Desktop Windows/IE11: The tool images are barely visible due to foreground/background:

2) Android tablet TFT700T/Opera Classic: The tool images do not display at all. If I press where I know they should be, I can see a dotted highlight rectangle. The rect is tall enough, but it's only maybe 10 or 12 pixels wide - too narrow for what should be displayed:

Physics news on Phys.org
I turned up the opacity of the toggles. I can confirm they don't stick. I'll have to find out why.

O.K. I can't say there's much of a difference. I closed/opened IE11, and then tried Chrome. I'm expecting at least a two-tone of alpha-blended white/black. I see the dark stuff, but no highlighting to 'set it off':

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. 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...

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...
