AI Thread Summary
The main page graphics are not loading for some users, displaying only X's, while individual forum graphics load correctly. Suggestions include reloading the page, checking the hosts file for blocks, and clearing the browser cache. Some users have experienced similar issues on other sites, potentially due to spyware conflicts with Internet Explorer. A recommendation to download Ad-Aware 6 for cleaning the hard drive was made. This issue appears to be affecting multiple users, indicating a possible widespread problem.

The main page graphics do not load. I only get a bunch of X's...ive tried reloading, and there's nothing in my hosts file to block this. I go to the individual forums and graphics show just fine. Something up?

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...
