I know I am posting this in the wrong sub-forum, but I am unable to enter certain sub-forums (and when I login I just get a "security" error), where as in other sub-forums I am automatically logged in. Is there a problem with the site or just me experiencing these problems?

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.
