AI Thread Summary
Users are seeking a more efficient way to locate threads they've initiated on the forum, as the current "Your Content" page becomes unwieldy with numerous interactions. They suggest implementing a dedicated section for threads started by users, similar to features found in other forums. A search query option to filter results to specific posts is also discussed. The forum does have a 'Find' button in user profiles that allows members to access their started threads. This feature helps streamline the process of tracking personal contributions.

Hi. I was trying to look up a thread I started while ago, in the Your Content page, however, it's really getting long. It would be great if there was a separate page for the threads that one has started (like a homework question), instead of having just a page with all the posts (all those interactions, back and forth with the other members/mentors/homework helpers, within a homework question itself) inside.

For instance, in most other forums, in one's account page, there is a list of questions one has asked.

Maybe I am the only one here who likes to take stock on the questions I asked... of course, there is always the option of compiling all links into a single document...

Okay, wait, it's a search query. Is there then a way to limit it to the nth post? Like post #1

There's a 'Find' button in your profile page that pops up a menu which includes the option to find all threads you've started.

Uh Oh. Thanks!
 
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...
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...
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...
