AI Thread Summary

PF is experiencing slow loading times specifically on Google Chrome, with users noting that the banner and border load quickly, but the body content hangs significantly. Other websites load without issues, indicating the problem is isolated to PF. Suggestions include potential cache issues as a cause for the slow loading. Despite some users reporting no problems, the discussion highlights a common frustration with PF's performance on Chrome. The conversation remains focused on troubleshooting the loading speed issue.

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...

I found through a search some brief commentary but not enough. Exactly how use and activate and deactivate Push Notifications for Physicsforums? I see some wording at bottom of forum's front page: Physics Forums would like your permission to enable push notifications.
