AI Thread Summary
A user inquired about the renewal process for their 5-year membership, expressing uncertainty about the expiration date and whether they would receive a notification. Other members confirmed that the expiration date can be found in the Control Panel under Paid Subscriptions and that a reminder email is typically sent. The conversation also included a light-hearted comment about renewing dues for a telescope equipment fund. Additionally, there was a mention of submitting a voucher request to AISH, though skepticism about its acceptance was noted. Overall, the discussion focused on membership renewal details and related humorous exchanges.

The last time around, I bought a 5-year membership, and I think that there was a bonus year tossed in for doing it promptly. Regardless, I have absolutely no parietal lobe function with regard to time, distance or direction. I have, therefore, no idea of when my membership will be up for renewal. Will I receive a notification in advance, or just find myself locked out some day? (I can't remember what it was like the first few years. :redface:)

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...
