When editing a post, last line sometimes not displayed

AI Thread Summary
A minor bug was identified where the last line of a post does not display in the edit box, particularly for users on Linux. This issue may arise if the user does not hit "enter" before submitting the post. However, accessing the BB code editor allows users to retrieve the missing line. Additionally, edits made within five minutes do not show an edit stamp. The discussion highlights a specific editing quirk without significant impact on functionality.

Only a minor bug ... :H

when I went to edit a post, I found its final line was not displaying in the edit box :wideeyed:

Most likely this came about because I'm using linux and when creating the OP probably did not terminate the concluding line with "enter" before clicking on Submit.

Not a calamity, because I found I could bring that missing line into the editor by clicking on that top corner icon for BB code editor. :cool:

As a test, I won't hit enter after this line, either.

EDIT: test failed, that last line did display in the edit box
when I tried to edit it

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...
