Hello,

I find the format of the forum a little difficult to use.

How do I find my own posts? I can't find a link on my profile page or anything to a specific user's posts.

Thanks

Click on your name, you will get a drop down box, click on "find more posts by *yourname*".
 
Yes, but that option is not available until I can find a post that has my name in it, which requires searching for my posts. Why can't there just be that same drop-down list whenever I log in?
 
Click on the "Quick Links" drop-down menu on the menu bar, and then click on "Subscribed Threads" … that will give you a list of all the threads you've posted in. :smile:

Did you try clicking on your name? You will get a drop down box, just click on your posts. You don't have to search for anything, all of your posts will appear.

Another option is to click on "My PF" in the top lefthand toolbar at the top of the page, click on "My Profile", click on "statistics", then click on "find all posts by *your name*"

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...
