AI Thread Summary
A persistent notification count of 1 in "Your Notifications" often indicates an unread friend request. To resolve this, users should scroll to the bottom of the notifications page, select the user's avatar, and click the appropriate button to respond. Issues may arise from specific browser or operating system combinations, as noted with Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 6.01 on Windows XP, but the problem was resolved using Internet Explorer 9 on Windows Vista. Ensuring the browser is updated can help eliminate such notification glitches.

There is a persistent count of 1 in my "Your Notifications". How do I get rid of it? I already read the notification and chose to not include an item, but this Your Notifications count of 1 still remains.

Usually, this is a friend request that hasn't been responded to. You need to scroll down to the bottom of the page, select the user's avatar using the check box and then click the appropriate button underneath.
 
The problem I described was happening under IE 8 (or might have been firefox 6.01?) under Windows XP s.p.3. I did as you described through IE 9 in Windows Vista and this worked. Suspecting browser or operating system problem involved in this. Now notification is gone as expected.
 

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...
