I know these days everyone is bombarded with companies asking for feedback, but this one is REALLY important. I can't look inside your heads to know what you think and I know many have little problems and don't want to start a whole thread on it. Now is your time. This community exists for its members. We want everything here to be as friendly, productive, and easy as possible. You have the power to influence what happens here. We've had the betterment survey the past 3 years now and each year we implement many suggestions. I know first had how the staff moderates and communicates has changed. Our video, insight and news features are direct results of suggestions. I'm telling you, we take to heart what is said and work hard to put good ideas and comments into our plans.

To help provide more incentive than just helping make PF better, if you provide your username and provide at least moderate feedback, you'll be put into a drawing. 5 members will be chosen to receive a PF t-shirt (US only) and 5 members will receive gold membership. The drawing will occur on Feb 23rd.

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...
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...
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...
