AI Thread Summary
A user requests the relocation of a thread from General Math to General Physics due to a posting error. It is suggested to use the report button for this purpose, despite an initial misunderstanding about its intended use. Another user recommends directly messaging an active moderator for a quicker response. The discussion concludes with the user deciding to report their own thread for the move.

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...
