AI Thread Summary
To send a private message (PM) on the website, users need to click the "Start a Conversation" button located in the editor page or under the "Information" section of a user's profile. There is no traditional "send" button; instead, initiating a conversation serves this purpose. Users can check their sent messages in the "Inbox" to confirm that the message has been sent. The process is straightforward once users locate the correct buttons. Understanding these features enhances user communication on the platform.

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...
