AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing access issues with the forum when using Mozilla, often being redirected to the forum guidelines page despite having already read it. This problem is not attributed to the browser itself but is part of standard forum protocol, especially after upgrades. The repetitive redirection seems to frustrate users, as it disrupts navigation within the forum. Additionally, a humorous note about a peculiar law regarding chipmunks in Wisconsin was mentioned, adding a light-hearted touch to the discussion. Overall, the focus remains on the technical difficulties faced by users accessing the forum.

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...
