Parsed link (url's) problems

  • Thread starter Thread starter Astronuc
  • Start date Start date
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on issues with parsed links related to Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) that became invalid after being parsed. While some links, like the one to MIT, function correctly, others do not, leading to confusion. Users noted that the parsing may have occurred due to quick edits, resulting in saved invalid URLs. Corrections were made to restore functionality to the links, and they are now reportedly working fine. The thread highlights the importance of maintaining proper link formatting to ensure accessibility.

I posted some links, which got parsed. Normally such links work, however, the parsing has made the links invalid. On the other hand, the parsed link to MIT works. Why is that?

If these links cannot work as parsed, please correct them with the un-parsed links.

Don't know what went wrong, but I fixed it for you.
 
Thanks, loseyourname! Yeah, I don't know what happened, but when I clicked on them, the browser used the parsed (...) link, which was not valid.

Pseudo Statistic reported a problem with them. I suspect I may have edited them (quick edit) and perhaps the parsed text was saved as parsed, to the url's were invalid.

They seem to be working fine now.
 

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

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...

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...
