AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on missing reaction icons for posts, specifically noting that some reactions appear without accompanying labels or icons. Users report that hovering over the "like" text results in an empty box, indicating a potential issue with the site's HTML or CDN. One user mentions they can resolve the problem quickly, suggesting it may be a minor fix. The conversation includes light-hearted banter about the timeline for the fix. Overall, the thread highlights a technical glitch affecting user interaction with reaction tags.

I was just reading this other thread. Two of the posts have a "reaction" tag at the bottom with the member's name (one Russ and the other Jim). I'd expect a label with them, such as 'Likes this' or 'Informative', but these have none.

According to the HTML, they're 'Likes', but there's no icon, and no rollover text:
[CODE highlight="4,5"]<span class="reaction reaction--small reaction--1" data-reaction-id="1">
<i aria-hidden="true"></i><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"
class="reaction-sprite js-reaction"
alt="Like"
title="Like">
</span>[/CODE]

Yeah, I have the same problem. A mouse-over on the "like" word just results in an empty box. Mouse-overs along the length of the box show the words for each icon that isn't there.
 
I had to drop the CDN for a couple months and this was a little collateral damage. I can fix it in 15min.

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...
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...
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...
