Code:

[/PLAIN]

I don't think it should be clickable. Also, if I right-click and choose "copy link location", this ends up in my clipboard:

[noparse]http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_14075106947076&key=6afc78eea2339e9c047ab6748b0d37e7&libId=fcdc518e-5e22-4f3e-82c7-d9ab78f7c78e&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.physicsforums.com%2Fnewthread.php%3Fdo%3Dpostthread%26f%3D19&v=1&type=U&out=http%3A%2F%2Fchemwiki.ucdavis.edu%2FTheoretical_Chemistry%2FSymmetry%2FMatrix_representations_of_groups&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.physicsforums.com%2Fnewthread.php%3Fdo%3Dpostthread%26f%3D19&title=Physics%20Forums%20-%20Post%20New%20Thread&txt=http%3A%2F%2Fchemwiki.ucdavis.edu%2FTheoretical_Chemistry%2FSymmetry%2FMatrix_representations_of_groups[/noparse]

Is it supposed to be like this? I used noparse tags here to prevent the software from shortening the URL. Note that the first line is clickable, but the link is broken.

I think you're right on both accounts.

Won't be a problem in a couple months :)

Glad you're excited! PF 4.0 is coming. We'll update everyone when the time gets closer :)
 
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...
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...
