AI Thread Summary
Tapatalk HD is not rendering LaTeX properly, leading users to seek alternative browsing options for forums on tablets. A mobile skin exists for the forum, but it may be disabled for iPads. Users report that while the Chrome browser on Nexus 7 displays forums adequately, it might default to the desktop version, causing navigation issues. The Maxthon browser is suggested as a better alternative for browsing. Overall, optimizing forum browsing on tablets requires exploring different browsers and settings for improved functionality.

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...

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.
