Hello!

I logged into my PF account after some time and I noticed that there was a private post sent to me(?) titled General Warning. The post has expired, but I have no idea what it said and I feel that it may have been important for me to read. Does anyone know who I can contact on this website to ask? Thank You.

I am messaging you now
 
You were sent a warning which normally come through as a personal message. However a few months ago we mass deleted all stored PMs, if you did not log on and read your warning before this then it must have been deleted. I will send you a transcript of this warning so that you can see what it said and what it referred to. Warnings serve as a reminder to follow PF rules.

If in future you wish to contact someone with a question simply click on the staff button on the banner at the top of every page and select an appropriate admin or mentor (those with blue or green names).

If you wish to give feedback about the site in general you can use this forum.

EDIT: I just sent you a message but I didn't see that Greg was messaging you as well.
 
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...
