Please congratulate PeterDonis and Orodruin for joining the Mentors. PeterDonis will be joining as a Physics Mentor and Orodruin as a Homework Help Mentor. Both of these members have been top notch and we are really excited for them to join the staff. We know PF will continue moving forward with these two coming on board.

Usually when there is a promotion there is also a retirement. I am sad to say George Jones will be leaving the PF Mentors group. George Jones has been a rock for many years and provided consistent advice and leadership. George Jones indicated that he will spend his new free time with his daughter. Now how can you argue with that! Thanks George and enjoy your free time!

Also to note, Mark44 will be transferring from the Homework Help forums to Mathematics.

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

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.

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...
