Logging In With Safari on iPad: Linking User Names

AI Thread Summary
In Safari on iPad, user names appear in two colors: black, which indicates no link, and blue, which signifies a link. After logging in, previously black user names change to blue and become clickable links. When logged out, profile links for less notable members are disabled to minimize internal links on the page. This design choice aims to streamline the user experience. The distinction in user name colors helps users identify which profiles they can access after logging in.

When logged out less notable members' profile links are disabled. This is to reduce the amount of total internal links on a given page.

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. 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...
