AI Thread Summary
The PF Mobile App is no longer active, and users are experiencing network errors due to its discontinuation. Instead of the app, users are advised to access PF through a mobile browser, which has been optimized for this purpose. An announcement regarding the app's shutdown was made nearly a year ago, indicating that it will not be reinstated. Users seeking assistance are encouraged to refer to previous discussions for more information. The transition to browser use is the recommended solution for accessing PF on mobile devices.

Yes, the PF App hasn't been active or used for months. Instead, use your mobile browser to open up the PF. It's been optimized for browsers now.

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.
