Quote button and report button switch?

AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing a bug in Firefox where the quote and report buttons switch functionality, along with issues displaying images. The problem appears to be related to caching on the site. A suggested solution is to use the shift+ctrl+R command to reload the page and override the cache, which has resolved the issue for some users. Clearing the cache may also help if the problem persists. Overall, it seems to be a site-specific issue rather than a general Firefox bug.

Is this a bug?
I am using Latest version of Firefox.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It probably just an issue with this site and firefox. I am unsure of why, but I have had quite a few images switch on this site.

Now it works fine!
 
i haven't had any images switch and i use the latest version of firefox
 
I sometimes get the first poster in a thread's avatar or guru award (if they have either) taking the place of each 'quick reply to post' button, which is next to the 'quote' button, and I'm using the latest firefox. It's probably something to report to them, not here.
 
Yeah, it's a caching problem. Reloading should alleviate the problem (it might take several attempts). If all else fails, try clearing your cache and then reloading the page.
 

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...
