AI Thread Summary
PF has introduced Tapatalk functionality, a mobile forum browser for iPhone and Android, which is considered superior to the existing PF Mobile skin. The app costs 99 cents, with all proceeds going to the developers, but using Tapatalk remains optional as the mobile skin will still be available. Users can find PF in the Science category or search for "Physics Forums" within the app. However, Tapatalk does not render LaTeX correctly, as it does not integrate MathJax files. This limitation is acknowledged, and no solution is currently available.

PF has joined the bandwagon! Over the past several months we've gotten some requests and I've decided it's time to give it a try. Tapatalk is a mobile forum browser (iPhone, Android). It's vastly superior to the PF Mobile skin. If you hate the normal skin you can even use Tapatalk browser in Chrome. It does cost 99 cents to download the app. All of which goes to the developers. Using Tapatalk is completely optional. The mobile skin will still be operational. For current Tapatalk users you can find PF in the Science category or just search for "Physics Forums".

Good question! It in fact does not. It connects the content into it's own template and doesn't grab the MathJax files. There is nothing I can do about this I'm afraid.
 
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...
