Quotations and ads overlapping

AI Thread Summary
Quotations in forum posts are overlapping with ads, making them unreadable for users who are not logged in. The issue disappears when logged in, as ads are removed from opening posts. Users are asked to provide screenshots and specify their operating system and browser for troubleshooting. One user reports the problem on Ubuntu Linux using Firefox 3.0, while another user checks the display on Windows with Firefox 2. The discussion highlights the need for compatibility checks across different browser versions.

When the opening post, or some other post that happens to be a first post of some page of a thread, contains quotations, the quotations overlap badly with the ads. Am I the only one having this problem? The problem vanishes when I log in, because the ads go away from opening posts then, though. But I might guess that they are not supposed to overlap. I cannot read the quotations without logging in.

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...
