AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing issues when trying to save personal web page links to their accounts, as the system incorrectly flags the content as spam. This results in an "oops" popup that prevents saving. To resolve this, users are advised to send a private message with the problematic link to a forum member. Additionally, users can contact admins by clicking the "Report" link in their posts, which alerts Mentors and Admins to the issue. Addressing these spam detection problems is crucial for a smoother user experience.

When I attempted to save my personal web page to my user account details, the system displays a "oops" popup claiming that the content is spam and won't allow me to save. What is the problem, and how does one contact an admin?

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.

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 'Site Usability nitpick -- Hyperlinks should be underlined'

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...

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...
