AI Thread Summary
To move a post from General Physics to the Homework Help forum, users can utilize the "Report this post to a mentor" option found within the post's interface.

The community is encouraged to allow mentors to handle these situations rather than taking personal action. Overall, the focus is on maintaining the integrity of forum organization while minimizing frustration. Proper reporting ensures that discussions remain relevant and appropriately categorized.

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...
