AI Thread Summary
The "Member" page is accessible on mobile devices but not on the laptop version of PF, which will be addressed in an upcoming upgrade. Users can find a link to the members' pages under the "Info" section in the non-mobile version, though it defaults to "Most messages" without direct links to specific categories. If the browser window is too narrow, the "Info" dropdown may disappear, making it harder to access member pages. This issue highlights the need for better navigation on the laptop version. An improvement is expected in the next month or two.

It might just be I hadn't notice, but the "Member" page can be seen on the mobile from the dropdownbut not the laptop version of PF.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Should be fixed in a month or two when we upgrade some things. Stay tuned.
 
I see it both with the mobile and non-mobile version. There is no special version for laptops.
 
The non-mobile version has a link to the members pages under "Info". There is no direct link to each separate category (you will be taken to "Most messages" by default), but you can navigate to whatever category you wish from there.

Edit: If you have a very thin browser window, the "Info" dropdown will disappear and become a link in the general dropdown. This link will take you to the general guidelines and you will not be able to access the member pages.

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...
