Sorry if this has been reported already, but I see the following:

Code:
var _ifid = Math.floor( Math.random() * 100 );document.write(""); try{var ifr = document.getElementById("_cwif"+_ifid);doc = ifr.contentDocument;doc.writeln("");var f = doc.getElementById('_cwsf1');f.method = 'POST';f.action = "http://tag.contextweb.com/TagPublish/sc.aspx?cs=513282_4_95722%40EMPTY%40.contextweb.com%4006%2F05%2F2011%40%252F*513282_4_95722%401307311514286%40.contextweb.com%4006%2F05%2F2011%40%252F*V%40V9gsCYmPFilk%40.contextweb.com%4006%2F17%2F2011%40%252F*vf%401%40.contextweb.com%4006%2F06%2F2011%40%252F";f.submit();} catch(e) {}

at the top of my PF, right next to where all the advertisements go. I'm using Safari in Mac OS X. It's annoying, because it makes the site many times wider than it should be

Thank you. Yes apparently I am using 5.0.3.

I will report this to the company.
 
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...
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...
