AI Thread Summary
Using an avatar on the forum requires a paid upgrade, which provides additional perks such as ad removal and custom titles. Contributors can access avatars and other features through the Upgrade link in the toolbar. Free upgrades may be available under specific conditions. Being a paid member does not grant preferential treatment in receiving help from others on the forum. Adhering to proper communication standards is also emphasized, discouraging the use of text speak.

No. There are no perks of this kind. You are making a voluntary contribution to the running of the site and as a gesture of thanks you are allowed a few additional items such as an avatar and additional mail box space.

Also, no text speak - best to note that from the start.
 

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. 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...

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...
