Click For Summary
The Physics Forums are undergoing a significant spring cleaning to remove outdated and unanswered threads, with a focus on enhancing the value of discussions. Threads without replies have been moved to workshop sub-forums, where members can either add valuable replies or report junk for deletion. Progress has been notable, with many workshops closing as threads are addressed, and new workshops being opened to continue the effort. Members are encouraged to participate actively by replying to relevant threads and reporting those that are obsolete or irrelevant. The initiative aims to create a cleaner, more informative forum for all users.

One small thing: can you change the default sorting order in the workshops, so that it matches the other forums? That is, the threads that have been replied to, will appear at the top.

The mentors decided that by views is most useful.

The relativity workshop is almost done!

We're seeing great results from our spring cleaning! Don't forget, we also want to haul out the junk, so even browsing the workshop forums and reporting threads that should be removed is a huge help! Thanks!

When you started spring cleaning, I was actually doing summer cleaning. Now I am doing rain cleaning. 🤪

Not much action for the Astro and Cosmo workshops. I'm going to merge them back in, in a few days. Have a quick look at least for trash to report, thanks!

@anorlunda has closed out General Engineering. We have opened a Materials and Chem Engineering Workshop. Reply to what you can, report junk threads.
