AI Thread Summary
To change your Avatar photo, you must have a supporter membership, as avatars are restricted to this membership level. Users with only a profile photo may not have access to an Avatar unless they upgrade. The discussion highlights that some long-time members may have had avatars prior to the implementation of this membership requirement. It's important to check your membership status to determine if you can change your Avatar. Upgrading to a supporter membership will enable you to customize your Avatar photo.

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...
