AI Thread Summary
To create a clickable link in forum posts, use the format [ u r l ] your link here [ / u r l ] without spaces. The forum software will automatically convert a complete URL into a clickable link when entered directly. For embedding links within text, the format [ u r l = h t t p : / your / cool / URL ] display text [ / u r l ] is recommended. This allows for cleaner posts without showing the full URL. Proper use of these tags enhances readability and engagement in forum discussions.

[ u r l = h t t p : / your / cool / URL ] check this out [ / u r l ]

(again, remove the extra spaces). Example:

Physics Forums

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...
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...
