AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing issues with YouTube videos not displaying properly in forum threads, particularly in high-content threads like "Youtube Classics" and "Best Songs." Initially, the video appears as an empty gray box, leading to frustration while waiting for it to load. Some users have noted that the videos eventually become visible after a significant delay.

Is it just me? I have posted a youtube video in "random thoughts" thread and I can't see it - that is, forum displays properly (after looooong wait), there is place where the video should be embedded, but nothing is displayed, just the gray background.

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...
