AI Thread Summary
The discussion addresses the limitations of the full post thread editor, noting that certain editing functions, like paragraphing, are unavailable when editing existing threads. Users are encouraged to explore the editing tools by tapping the three-dot menu, which reveals additional options. The conversation also highlights the term "vertical ellipsis" for the three-dot icon. Overall, the thread seeks to clarify editing capabilities within the platform. Understanding these features can enhance user experience when managing posts.

I noticed that only certain functions are available in the full post thread editor (the more option button when first starting a new thread), but not when you edit threads that were posted (like paragraphing etc). Is there a reason why?

Just curious ;)

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...
