AI Thread Summary
The personal web page URL link is missing from user profiles, causing confusion among members. Users report that attempts to re-add the link fail despite clicking "save." A key issue identified is that the system requires the URL to include "http://" to function properly. Once this format is used, the link can be successfully saved. This highlights a quirk in the system that users should be aware of.

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.
