AI Thread Summary
A proposal was made for a dedicated log section on the site where users can document and share their daily math and physics activities, such as problems solved and readings. This log would function similarly to a workout logbook, allowing for community interaction through comments and encouragement. Some users expressed confusion about the distinction between this log and existing blog features, noting that blogs were not prominently displayed on the front page. There is a suggestion to enhance the visibility of blogs to encourage more user engagement. Overall, the idea aims to foster a supportive environment for sharing academic progress.

My idea for an addition to the site would be a section where you could keep a log. The idea with this is that people who would like to share their work has an opportunity to do so. Also, this log could be like a "workout" logbook where you share what you have done during the day math and physics related - e.g. which problems you solved, what you read, and general thoughts related to these topics. People could then comment and give encouragement and suggestions.

I would start a log immediately.

How is this different from a blog, which you can do right now?
 
Did not know that blogs were implemented here, as I couldn't find it on the front page, but I found it with a google search after you pointed it out. Sorry for the stupid suggestion then! I still think it would be beneficial to give it more focus on the front page of the forums. Let's make this my inital suggestion ^^
 
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...
