Hackaday prize is now 2016. We are from Myanmar (Yes, a green land opened it's door recently). We are not eligible yet. "The Contest is not open to residents of Quebec, Cuba, Iran, Myanmar (formerly Burma), North Korea, Sudan, Syria, or any ...". Why we are not in a part of this open community? Myanmar is running on our own path to democracy. Everybody know it and you still considering us like North Korea, Sudan, Syria!!! I strongly requested for eligibility again. Dear teams, please find a way for us. 

It is your country's rules and we sincerely hope that next year you can join us. You can still put up a project and be a part of the community. We love having you here.

Hi. I am so excited to have the opportunity to enter my submission, thank you!  I've had a few people report "Liking" my project, iCaries, but it is not showing up.  One did write a nice comment, and it shows, but not the "Like".  Today, two of the "Likes" are missing, but I received their email confirmations,  skull +1, for each yesterday.  Just wondered if there is a way to have someone look into that for me.  I'm happy to forward the confirmation emails.  Thank you again! 

hi. list of people who liked iCaries can be seen here https://hackaday.io/hackers/all/project/10169/likers please let me know if you got email notification from someone who's not on the list. you can send me private message if easier. thank you!

Yes, I got two email notifications from two who are not on my list. I'll send you a private message. Thank you for such a quick reply, impressive!

Hi Ivan, just forwarded two email notifications from two people not on the list.

Would be nice to be able to enter some general text in the "File Area" section for a project.
e.g. license, a short description of what the files are for.

You can write a description for each file independently. But your idea is noted, thanks!

Please add the 2016HACKADAYPRIZE tag in the "Browse by Tag:" drop down menu from page https://hackaday.io/projects

Is there any other way to sort only the 2016 Prize entries?

Try this link https://hackaday.io/projects/tag/2016hackadayprize/sort/date

Thank you very much, Richard!

link to all official entries https://hackaday.io/submissions/prize2016/list. the link is under 'more' menu

I need to be able to sort by date the 2016 Prize projects only. Or by skulls, or other criteria, like in the page for https://hackaday.io/projects

Still no ETA on the "cancel project collaborator invitations when they have not yet responded"?

Also, what's with the "likes", put back "skulls" and demote the person who had this idea.

When loading hacker channel chat, my browser freezes, CPU load on my quad core i5 jumps to 100% and stays there for something like 5-10s, on the other computer with slower dual core CPU it is even worse, something like 15-20s freeze. Firefox often throws warning of unresponsive script. It works this way from the beginning (I'm here for a few weeks).

Is it feature or bug? From my layman's point of view the chat is simple - just window with few lines of messages. I know it i more complicated under the hood, but experience with other chat engines - happily running on old raspberry pi B (not +, not 2 nor 3 version) - is more smooth with comparable usability.

Seems like other people noticed that too, like comments in here https://hackaday.io/project/7844-robotics-chat

Is there a way to improve this one?

My email client is blocking your outsources newsletter about the hackaday prize as a suspected fishing attempt. 

This is because you have links *written* as hackaday.io/prize but the actual anchors link to the outsourced email marketing platform.

The above is the desired behavior for my email security and I will not be changing it to accommodate hackadays flaunt aberration of established and expected internet principles. 

I like hackaday and I like your newsletters but I am not going to read through a dozen or more phishing attempts per day just so that I can read your one newsletter.

If you do the same with other email from hackaday.io then they will be blocked as well and that will be the death knell for hackaday as far as I am concerned. Come to think of it, I haven't received and email from io for a while. 

Sorry to sound so negative but that's just the way it is for me. I was a contributing member here before the constant changing of image aspect ratios exceeded my patience. 

There are reasons for established standards and they wont change because *someone thinks it's a good idea to try something different*. The only thing you are achieving in this way by using your visitor base as a sounding board is to cause them frustration and irritation until they leave. Is it really worth that when the standards have already been established. 

The aspect ratios here are still the worst case possible. They may look great as a collection but they are not conveying basic information (their primary purpose). 

Why do I bother???

Bye.

Thanks, I'll bring this up with the newsletter staff. The html email URLs are modified for mailchimp analytics. I believe the plain text versions are not modified.

+1 Not really interested in my email address "outsourced" and "harvested" by a 3rd party company that I have no control.  There might also be some local privacy laws in countries that prevents this.

I got my Power Glove project up (FINALLY), and I'm super excited to share it with the world! I seem to be at a loss though when it comes to adding more than 6 pictures to the gallery. I originally thought I was supposed to add them to the files section as they appeared in a gallery format at that time, but now they are just listed files and are separate from the actual gallery...

the 6 pics are for representing your project. All other pics in the galleries of other projects are pulled from the logs. So if you want to add pictures, add them in a log and they'll show up in the gallery :)

Ah, excellent, thank you! 

"Skull" was always the Hack A Day trademark.

I just LOVE publishing my projects here @ hackaday BUT adding images really lacks a important functionality:

Defining size by numbers while keeping the aspect ratio. I like my pictures to have all the same width throughout the text. Doing that by mouse is really annoying and cumbersome.

It would be great to be able to do that!

I like the idea - maybe something like a select box with percentage?

It is my experience that when you drag images into the editor they all have the same width which is the width of the editor but I assume you'd like them to be narrower which would probably look better in many cases.

Resizing images seems to have the effect that they are assigned a fixed size in pixels so they will look different on differently sized monitors which messes up the layout. 

You could try resizing images by editing their html tags as suggested by @RoGeorge in #Hack the Hack A Day Editor; e.g. set the width to 75% and the height will scale according to the aspect ratio. I do this quite frequently to display two images side-by-side, an example for this is the last image in this log.

However, I agree that better image editing tools in the editor would be nice and it has been suggested multiple times in the comments here.

Thanks for the tip with the percentage! Thats quite useful and I'll try it! I know about the layout, but as the text/images are all inside of one "frame", one could "simply" add a "% of width" option to the Edit-option of images instead of a px-number.

@Jan Yeah, that's pretty much what I suggested some time ago; to scale the images in terms of percentage and not pixels but the devs are probably busy as it is.

I like the idea of adding these options to the edit-image-dialogue, maybe even further in the future options for cropping and rotating the image could be added there as well.

Haha, while we're on the subject of redactor... can we please have *strikethrough*?

my latest page has 2 likes but only one feed update for it.

might have something todo that I follow one of those persons and on not. 

I don't think so. I saw the same problem (see below) with people I follow as well as people I don't follow.

I think it might have something to do with the email notification limit which it says is limited to one per hour.

well my test group was too small then ;)

Do not like "Like" please bring back skulls.  Thanks.

Why in the name of all that's holy and much that isn't can't I change my profile image? I've tried multiple times two different images, one a JPG and the other a PNG. Both are under a meg and both seem to upload and display but when I save profile changes, the image reverts to the original.

When I sign in using my Twitter profile I get all my projects. When I use the log in feature (same email), I have no projects, and my profile is empty? Does the system not tie things together based on the email address?  Note: I have to do this in some places where Twitter is restricted.

we're not getting your email from twitter so we can't connect accounts automatically 

If I understand what you are saying, it seems like an odd way to make things work.  So, if I log in using the 'connect Twitter' which is the same login, I am a different profile than if I use the same email address and the regular login approach.  Seems backwards to me.  That said, how can I transfer the projects I created using my Twitter login using the direct login (given its the same email account)?

if you create account with twitter we don't know your email. you can go to https://hackaday.io/settings, give us your email and set password. that way you'll be able to login to same account with twitter and with email/password combination.

I think I found a bug: I'm not getting notifications for all skulls I got on a profile page (https://hackaday.io/page/1566). I think this happens when the skulls are given in a relatively short period of time, maybe about 10min. Notifications on the site shouldn't be limited like email notifications, right?

Personally, I like receiving emails for every skull, mention, etc... even if it floods the email box, then I can sort 'em and whatnot... Nevermind know to thank 'em.

I like them, too, and I do get emails for all skulls on projects but not for all skulls on profile pages. I also don't get on-site notifications for all skulls on profile pages which is the suspected bug that apparently @davedarko is also seeing. I was only referring to the email notifications because it says in the setting that they are limited to one per hour and it seems that's what's going on with the on-site notifications.

It's fixed now. Thanks!

My bio and other basic info which I had entered on my profile is not showing up on my mobile device or here on desktop. :(

Hey @Donovan Magryta!  Sorry to hear that, I'll take a look.

EDIT: Fixed now--Thanks for the tip!

:( "likes" ? Where'd my precious skulls go?

what? whaaaaat?

Oh noes I too lost all my skulls and got "likes" for them.

oh. my. !.

In the messages, in particularly the conversations, new messages I (and others) post show up marked as "in 5 minutes" after posting. Either it's a bug in the time zone offset for UTC+1, or I'm living 5 minutes in the future. This bug sometimes disappears during the day, then reappears in the morning.

Sometimes alls it takes is a refresh...

The community newsletter shows day of week instead of month.

Monday 7, 2016 instead of March 7, 2016 or even Monday March 7, 2016.
