I used the forum as signed-in for a few minutes, finished, and then signed-out. The "Oops!" message came up, and here is the quote:

Oops! We ran into some problems. Cookies are required to use this site. You must accept them to continue using the site.

No other problems seem to be happening. No problem seems to be continuing. (and I will now sign out again.)
(no "cookies" choice in any obvious place, and I seem to now not be allowed to sign out.)
(I tried sign out again; and it DID work.)

Thread 'Site Usability nitpick -- Hyperlinks should be underlined'

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...

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...
