Hello All,

My PF subscription was normally renewed but it doesn't appear on my profile.
BTW, this renewal is automatic and doesn't let any chance to a member to quit the place.

Are you sure it was renewed? I thought Greg disabled automatic renewals because it was set up in error, and people complained.

If you were actually charged for it, contact Greg Bernhardt by PM to either manually upgrade you back to a gold status, or to issue a refund if your concern is that you didn't want to renew and it automatically did so.

He also is the one who needs to fix the subscriptions feature if it's automatically renewing without any option to stop that...it shouldn't be doing that.

Hi Greg,

I just need the "PF contributor" on the profile page.
 
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...
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...
