Suggestion for the PF community

AI Thread Summary
The PF community is encouraged to host a "community event night" in the chat room to foster live discussions and Q&A sessions. This initiative aims to enhance engagement, as the current chat feature is underutilized. Time zone differences, such as the nine-hour gap with California, are noted as a potential challenge for participation. Overall, the proposal seeks to maximize the chat room's potential and create a more interactive community experience. Implementing such events could significantly benefit community interaction and connectivity.

It is in my opinion that the PF community should have a sort of "community event night" where everyone can meet in the community chat room to have a discussion. We could get a topic going for the night and discuss it live. Or perhaps some Q&A sessions. I really think the chat room extension to the community is a great idea and should be utilized to its maximum! :smile: What does everyone else think?

not a bad idea== the chat seems pretty useless when no one uses it

For instance, we have 9 hours more in advance than California. So that, a night for somebody of USA can be my time for sleeping and dreaming :zzz:
 

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 'Site Usability nitpick -- Hyperlinks should be underlined'

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...

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...
