I'm announcing the unveiling of a new mobile skin. It's a lot more modern and matches the style to our desktop version. Check it out by visit PF on your mobile browser of choice via your phone. Most tablets will use the desktop skin. MathJax works this too if you are frustrated with the app. I'll be tweaking it a bit for a few days but it's pretty well set. Let me know if you have any suggestions or problems. Enjoy!

I LOVE the new skin. So much better than the previous one, which was a pain to use with the ads blocking the drop down boxes, so you couldn't navigate properly.

I haven't checked in the past few days, but is Latex formatting going to be introduced into the mobile app? All I see is code, it doesn't convert.

Glad you enjoy it! I think it's a huge improvement too. No plans yet to implement LaTeX into the mobile app.
 
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. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. 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...
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...
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...
