You are rude and disrespectful. You sometimes sound adult ish but act like a child. You spam this forum like a teenage boy trying to get laid. And all you do is annoy people judging by the minus rep you are getting. I'm surprised you're not banned yet tbh. My apologies to the mods, admin, scientists and mathameticians , I've tried not saying anything negative about this person but man... (and sorry for going slightly off topic. I won't say anymore.) Also, he or she makes me not want to post here whilst they are still able to, I can only imagine the stupid answers they might reply with. I'm sure this person must be close to being banned, I ask that you do and soon pleas…

I just noticed what to me is a new forum function, although it may be just that I never noticed it before. I have two screenshots of the summary function showing what I was offered at the top of a thread and what happened when I accepted the offer of a thread summary. Can someone explain how 'the most posts are selected' please ? I am not complaining about this function, just trying to understand it.

How does a user get banned permanently? Am I in that position? This is just a general question.

Immediately after the site migration I'm pretty sure I found some inverted commas (as with other forums using this platform/format) which gave me a quote box to insert into. But I can't find it anymore so as noted in the screenshot I have had to create my own . As can be seen there are no inverted commas in the input editor toolbar at the top. Can we have it back please ?

In the old site we used to be able to ckick on an attachment, photo etc to get to a larger version (if there was one). We seem to have lost this facility here. Is it or can it be still available please ?

I know the T dropdown gives us options to increase or decrease, but if I copy-paste something in a big font, like a headline, clicking “100% (default)” does nothing. Somehow, that’s the new default size. Young tourists deported from US after not planning their trip well enough I can only drop that to 80% size Young tourists deported from US after not planning their trip well enoughIf I copy-paste again, it still knows that’s 80%. The only way to get it normal is to paste it where I’ve already typed, so it uses the existing setting Young tourists deported from US after not planning their trip well enough Does anyone know a simpler way? (edit: and now 80% is the new defaul…

Took me a couple tries to just post this. On the brain/protein thread I couldn't post at all. Sometimes the text box wouldn't open or the quote selection feature would refuse to work. Seemed to relate to drop-down ads atop the page that would freeze all activity until I closed them, but sometimes not. And of course there seems to be a new and aggressive wave of full page blocking ads, a lot of them seem to want me to join a popular service that rhymes with snick-snock (don't want to inflame them further by including actual name).

Hello. What is points; where do they come from? or is it posts ? What is 9/13 ? A date? And what is 'Retained' ; is that different from rank ? And "Senior" is neither a rank nor a retained nor a 'level'?

Google vignette is driving me mad and away. How do fix it so every second attempt to move page, post, change forum section... does not lead to blankout.

I opened a thread on spacetime and presented what seem to be a simple straight forward mathematics to illustrate fundamentals of spacetime.math that would have shown how Christoffel symbols used in general relativity are affected...it was just a tip of the iceberg...and just like that Swanson disregarded my simple math without further questions and blocked the thread. What make fear to develop when issues concerning nature of the universe are to be revealed,when it's time has come.you can't tell a single person to give a model of the universe at once or at ago,it has to be developed bit by bit and with possible help and input of other people, Swanson should review the m…

When I choose to ignore a member's posts, their posts still appear in the Activities list, e.g., Is it possible to make them disappear from my view?

I have some heavy weight textbooks that I don't need any more and would be glad to give them away for a cost of shipping. Is it OK to post such information on SFn? If so, where?

Is posting links to files permissible? I ask because I have Mathematica files on the web that can be downloaded safely and securely. I have been inserting the Mathematica files into the code on SFN, but for clarity I would like to share the notebook files themselves. I posted the following idea as a teaser. I believe the protocol would work. But could someone invent math to make it secure? My odometer turned 10099 to 10100 to 10101; then 100999 to 101000 to 101001 An odometer is like a combination lock, Caesar Cipher, Pagoda, M209, Enigma Machine. But what if the odometer was set to an equation. Different combi…

Hi, good day. Has to be a years old post or thread I (Externet) participated in or started about questioning if Alzheimer disease was related to aluminium. Tried the 'and' underlined terms with no success; and a few times got a rejection of waiting a number of seconds to do another search which was repeatedly wrong. Can I learn the trick to a successful find ? Like searching only within my content ? "My content" mentions 'attachments' Is 'attachments' non-text files added to text of a post or 'attachments' means posts ?

Why you deleted my posts??? Your modern country will be lost. I speak face to face with Arabs and Pakis and Afghans face-to-face about new technology and how they can fight with new technology. When you deleted my post about 9/11 you never understand what i have learned to Islamic persons.

Hello. I want to know this forum Blong to which country?

Hello. When i want to post a new topic or reply to any user's post in a topic, i see it have not any textarea for posting but have other input boxes. Is this a setting for me by you or this is a bug from you or my computer?

Hello, The 9th page of simple yet interesting has multiple posts over and over. The single post was the intended to reply to Ghideon. The rest was a loop, that I don’t know why it happened. So could you leave the post and delete the copies? Thank you, Trurl

I am new to the forum and have received a - score from someone. I find that very Pettie and I look forward to receiving more of the same as it is like a badge of honor. Give me more thumbs down and show me just how pettie you really can get. John John is the name and getting my message across is the game.

After running into the problem numerous times of my latex getting changed to rich text format. I noticed a couple of repeatable and consistent causes. For example if you have latex in your post and try to insert an image or hyperlink to another website this will more often than not cause the latex instructions to drop and the post entirety seems from my end to switch the post to RTF. Do not know if this is repairable but I mention it for everyone's awareness. (010) The last switch occurred simply due to thread merge. The latex was placed in a separate post but the merge operation switched it to rtf. This was what I had actually typed m…

I have understood in last several years to now: Many forums have banned many users and have deleted many useful topics and posts (moderator have been AI and AI do not know some of these posts is very important?) Post of forums and blog have most decreased since several years ago. Many important users of forums have been hidden in internet and they have not answer they emails and WhatsApp and other web communications. Millions of Afghans and Pakistanis with their family and their guns have come to Iran in last 3 years and they have been start fighting with native people in all of Iran even in west! of Iran. Internet of Iran have been very sl…

I have a request of the Admin. I have a post that is locked. Probably because no one understood what I was trying to do. That is bad communication on my part. The post is: Prime Products just one last tine by Trurl, June 18, 2016 in Mathematics It was locked 5 years ago. This post preceded the post Simple yet interesting. I know it has many mistakes and many failed attempts, but it remains the supporting work of my entire efforts. I know no one believes that I solved the Prime factorization problem, but I request this thread to be unlocked not because I wish to add to it. Instead I want to bump it up to be near to the Simple yet …

re. How does a person get expert status? Does the same process apply to losing status, or is it permanently applied with no possible further consideration? Say for example an expert is consistently posting pseudoscience, specifically of the type "Use of misleading language -- Using established terms in idiosyncratic ways, thereby demonstrating unfamiliarity with mainstream work in the discipline," in a way that misinforms readers. Is it appropriate to "report" such posts as pseudoscience? Or is there a better way to call staff attention to the behaviour? Or is it allowed that resident experts can consistently reply to questions in the mainstream science forum…

Why does the list sometimes report the members as 'last visited' and sometime 'online now ?' especially when the member looking the information is clearly online ?
