AI Thread Summary
Moderators are encouraged to address attachment approval requests directly. Users are advised to utilize the "report" button for such issues, despite its current limitations regarding the types of reports it accepts. Concerns about the report button's functionality have been acknowledged, with a note that changes to it would require significant technical alterations. The main admin is currently unavailable, but the topic will be raised upon their return. Efficient communication with moderators is essential for resolving these types of requests.

Done! For future reference, a better way to get this sort of thing done is to use the "report" button which sends a message to all the mentors (moderators) without everyone else having to skip past it.

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...
