Where is the Toolbox in Physics Forums?

AI Thread Summary
The Toolbox, which includes the sigma icon for displaying complex equations, is not available in all forums on Physics Forums; it is specifically found in technical and homework sections. Users looking for the Toolbox should ensure they are posting in the correct categories, as it will not appear in feedback forums. Some users may confuse the Toolbox with the quick symbols box, which does not include the sigma icon. Additionally, the forum does not provide a LaTeX editor, so users without a LaTeX word processor will need to find alternative methods for displaying equations. Accessing the Toolbox requires navigating to the appropriate forum sections.

I want to display complex equations. It was suggested to me that I click on the sigma icon in the Toolbox. However, I can't find the Toolbox.
I see the quick symbols box. However, underneath there is a suggestion to look for the sigma icon. I don't see a sigma even in the quick symbols box.
I don't have a LaTex word processor.
Does the forum provide a LaTex editor?

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 '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...
