Bug Investigating 3x Duplication on Physics Forums Twitter Page

AI Thread Summary
The Physics Forums Twitter page has been displaying each entry three times, unlike other Twitter pages that appear normal. Users have noted this duplication issue intermittently, with some experiencing it while others do not. Reloading the page seems to resolve the problem temporarily, but it has been difficult for users to capture evidence of the glitch. The discussion highlights a shared concern about the inconsistency of post visibility on the platform. Ongoing monitoring is suggested to determine if the issue persists.

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...
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...
