Unlimited Buddy List? Exploring the Limits on PF's Buddy System

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the question of whether there is a limit to the number of buddies one can have on a buddy list. Participants express uncertainty about the exact limit, with one suggesting that users should continue adding buddies until they encounter a restriction. This approach implies that the community may benefit from sharing any findings regarding the buddy list limit once discovered.

Hey Greg, mentors, and everyone. For anyone who knows: Is there a limit to the amount of buddies on our buddy list? Or can we have practically the whole PF on our buddy list?

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...
