AI Thread Summary
Users are finding it difficult to distinguish inserted links when replying to posts due to minimal color contrast. The issue is that the link styling is not visually prominent during the writing phase, making it hard to confirm if a link has been added. However, once the reply is posted, the links appear clearly. Suggestions include changing the link color to match the more visible blue links used elsewhere on the site. Improving link visibility during the reply process could enhance user experience.

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...
