I just noticed on the mobile app that I get notifications when other people post threads in a forum that I posted a thread in. This just started happening recently and I wonder if it's a bug or if there is a way to remove that type of notification

Try disabling push notifications in settings.
 
Did you subscribed to the forum? You can see your subscribed forums in the https://www.physicsforums.com/usercp.php (better use the non-mobile version to check that). There are different subscription types, with or without email notifications.

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.

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...
