AI Thread Summary
Users can add their physicsforums.com email to the "about me" section of their profile for contact purposes. However, there is no option to manually include it in the official contact section. Members can retain their original email while directing contacts through their pf.com email. This setup allows for communication through the preferred email without losing access to the original account. Overall, utilizing the "about me" section is the best workaround for this request.

So I've just signed up for a physicsforums.com email account.

Is it possible to list it as a way to contact me, when people click on the Contact tab in my profile?

I'd also like to keep the original email I used to sign up to this account, but have members contact me via my pf.com email.

You can add your email to your regular profile ("about me"). I don't think there is a way to add it to the contact section manually.
 

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. 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...

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...
