AI Thread Summary
The "Share It" links in the user notes feature appear to be non-functional, leading to confusion among users. Clicking these links does not yield any results, as they are likely misconfigured template elements. The down-arrows are intended for "Thread Tools" and "Search Thread" options, but they do not apply to user notes, causing a display issue. Users are advised to refrain from clicking these links since they do not serve a purpose in this context. This highlights a need for better interface clarity regarding user notes functionality.

So, just what are these phantom links supposed to do?

Thanks Greg. In that case I'll stop clicking them!
 
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...
