What Should New Members Know About Physics Forums?

[Agave tequilana]

Well, Hi I am Yadiel but you can call me Agave and am really lookinng foward to make the best out of physicsforums.com since it seems as a very interesting site. I was hoping if anyone would like to become friends since that would be very helpful and courteous. Since I am here, I would like to say that I am a fan of particle phyics, botany, and mathematics. To tell the truth, sometimes I get alittle ahead of myself about learning. Since I need to wrap this up soon I will just add that I am twice exceptional (2e) meaning I am autistic and mentally gifted.

P.S. Thank you for the welcoming post.

Welcome to PF, Agave.

Thanks. I see you are a gold member. I am inferring when I say you must have been here for while already.

Anyone can have Gold Memeber status. There are a number of ways to get it.

• You can pay for it - https://www.physicsforums.com/account/upgrades
• You can get it free by being a First Responder - https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/first-responder-upgrade-free-gold-membership.782069/
• Or through Project PF Proliferation - spreading the news on campus about PF.

There may be other ways that I'm not familar with but @Greg Bernhardt would know.

Huh, thank you acknowledging me of this. One question I would like to ask is : What do the numbers at the bottom left corner of the profile picture mean?

 

[Borg]

It is the number of posts that you've made. Posts in the PF Lounge and its subforums don't count toward the total.

OK. While I was waiting for a reply I went around to look at some threads but compared to the rest I seem an amateur. For example, the conversation about black holes becoming quark stars I have rather small experience with so I suggested Hawking radiation as part of the problem since that would be the cause of the black holes demise.

Another good piece of advice for new members is to read through the Physics Forums Global Guidelines and How to Ask for Homework Help. There are rules for posting on the forum and those links are the two best places to get started. Plus, you'll get 8 Trophy Points for reading the first one. BTW, trophy points can take as much as an hour or more to update.
