AI Thread Summary
Itemized lists in posts are being disrupted by advertisements on the left side, particularly noticeable when users are logged out. This formatting issue affects the readability of content, as seen in post#10 of the referenced thread. Logged-in users do not experience this problem due to the absence of ads. The presence of ads can lead to frustration for potential new users, impacting their decision to sign up. The issue has been acknowledged and will be addressed by the forum administrators.

Hi,
a post with an "itemized list" like this
  • item 1
  • item 2
  • item 3
appears to get its formatting disrupted when there is an advertisement at the left of the post.

An example is on post#10 of this thread,
https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=4252590

at least as of now, when post#10 is the last post -- this may change with time, of course. BTW, it looks OK when I am logged in (as there is no publicity), but disrupted when I review it after logging out.

P.S.: Hey, actually *this* post is an example of the problem. As long as you see it with publicity (i.e. logged off).
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I noticed that quotes were being ran off the page by ads when I was looking around while not being logged in. I thought that was normal for not being gold.
 
I clicked a link in my email to visit a thread and I wasn't logged in and got something like this:

If I did not already visit PF regularly I would think twice about signing up in all honesty since I get frustrated by advertisements that obscure the content.

Thanks for the feedback. That is a problem I will address.
 
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...
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...
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...
