Is the link to the PF Library for Newtonian Dynamics not working?

AI Thread Summary
The link to the PF Library for Newtonian Dynamics is currently not functioning, causing confusion among users. While the defined browse facility for Newtonian Dynamics works, the breadcrumb navigation appears to have broader issues, as clicking the last breadcrumb item does not lead to the expected category. Users report that earlier breadcrumb links to broader categories are operational. It is acknowledged that the site administrator, Greg, is likely aware of these problems and has them on his to-do list. Overall, the discussion highlights navigation issues within the PF Library related to Newtonian Dynamics.

at the top of the relevant pages isn't working. :confused:

(though the Defined browse facility does work for Newtonian Dynamics)

Actually, I don't think the breadcrumbs are working quite right in general, not just that one entry. If you click the last item on the breadcrumb to get to the most specific category, it doesn't seem to take you anywhere. When I've clicked on the broader categories earlier in the breadcrumb trail, they seem to work okay.
 
I noticed this the other day. I'm sure Greg has it on his very long list.
 

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 '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...
