AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing permission issues when trying to post in the "Homework & Coursework Questions" section of the forum, while other areas function normally. This restriction is due to past problems with irrelevant content and spam in the learning materials sections. The community suggests that users should be able to post in various educational forums. There is a proposal for a customized message to inform users why their posting permissions are denied, which would clarify the intentional nature of the block. Overall, the discussion highlights the need for better communication regarding posting restrictions in educational forums.

Posting to "Advanced Physics Learning Materials"

When I try to post new thread in "Homework & Coursework Questions" (and it seems to be the same in all "education") it tells me that I haven't permission to do that. All other threads (for example "high energy") are working fine. Its a bug or a feature?
Thank you very much

Learning Materials are restricted access. Too many people were posting content not considered learning materials, and too many spammers were spamming.

One should be able to post in the "Homework & Coursework Questions" Forums, and in the various discussion forums.

If there is a link to an online learning research, then please post it here, or contact a Mentor by PM.
 


As questions like this pop up fairly often, I wonder if it is technically possible to add a customised message giving the reason whenever posting permission is refused, that is a message specifically tailored to the forum in question? That way, users will know the block is intentional and won't need to come here to ask why.
 

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 '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...
