AI Thread Summary
Quoting posts on Physics Forums can lead to issues where only part of a post appears in the message composition window. This problem may be related to posts being edited or deleted during the quoting process. Users have noted that the issue persists in certain browsers, while others, like Chrome 28, seem to quote correctly. Waiting for the forum activity to stabilize before attempting to quote again is suggested. Ensuring compatibility with different browsers may help resolve these quoting issues.

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.
