whatsup with gifs? none of mine seem to load, 500 error each time :(

Hi @alusion - Thank you for reporting, we are looking into it!

I can't change the email address for my account, because it requests a password even though I use "sign in with github". Please help. I wasn't able to find the right person/forum to find help, I hope this is the right place

Hi @Bhavesh Kakwani -  Changing the email address directly through Github isn't working. You need to have an email in the system (added through the gold banner or otherwise), then visit the reset password page to set a password. You can then change the email with that password on the account page. If you require any further information, feel free to contact me.

Using the image gallery on chrome on android is a major PITA. Each swipe to a new image is a new page on the stack and requires you to go back through all the images to get back to your spot in the feed. 

Come on . At least have one admin to prevent p@#n ads from showing up at 2nd page if you ain't gonna take down spam and fake projects.

+1. I've reported both projects and the user the moment I saw those p@#n ads! Hackaday new projects should go under a reviewing process before being published, to end the proliferation of advertisements and projects without any relevant content.

I have all the images for my build process cropped and numbered, in the manner 01-DoThis.jpg, 02-DoThat.jpg and so on. 30 images for 30 steps of the build, neatly named and appearing in order on a directory listing.

The HAD image icon will add all the images, which is a great time saver since all the images are numbered and the names show which step is being done...

Except the images are added in reverse order. If I select all images, they are inserted into the instructions section last first.

Recommend you change the "multiple" image insert to insert the images in the correct sort order (ie - order in which they appear, when doing a multiple image insert).

Hi. I just finished putting together a ZX80 reproduction based on Cees Meijer’s project https://hackaday.io/project/170707-zx80-replica.  It would be nice if Hackaday had a mechanism to post “makes” to honor the author.

Needing help to complete the flashing of a scooter motor controller.

Anybody willing to help me flash and personalize a Lime scooter purchased from a tow yard lot of ugly broken scooters''''

Hi @Hans Soltz - you could try asking a question in the Stack https://hackaday.io/stack or Hack Chat https://hac.io/m/2369

I would like the dev team to add a "hide NSFW content" option, I saw things that I didn't really wanted to saw. I think I am not the only one asking for this.

Thanks in advance.

Hello hackers and makers, one problem I am facing is that since i have made my hackaday profile using my "yahoo email ID" the problem i am having is that i can log in to my hackaday.io account from desktop but when i want to log in on my android phone it say this email ID is not valid (this is not an email id). Does hackaday support only gmail id or there's some other issue that i am missing out. How can i solve this problem ?

are you trying to login in android chrome browser or the hackaday app?

I login on android chrome browser. Now its working iam able to login. It was not working from november 2021 to around april 2022 I dont know why.

Thanks sir for your reply 😃

Why not simply sync the account across bot5h devices?

Horizontal scroll of thumbnails on the main page in safari on iPhone works pretty weird and unusable 

Thanks I'll check it out.

There are still some text overlap issues, but the scrolling on iPhone looks better now.

The notification dot appears when there is a notifiable event, but the dropdown list has stopped showing updates for a while now so doesn't display what the event was. Not that it matters much, I get notified by email so I know what the event was. But perhaps something worth looking into.

Is there any integration between GitHub and hackaday? It would be great to have an easy way to archive project pages from hackaday to GitHub repo(s), and/or vice versa - control the documentation changes using regular PR process on Github and pull them in for display here. 

Having real trouble submitting a project to Planet_Friendy _Power

Have now started a new project twice, remade an old project... None of which gets accepted in submission.

Do I have to go through the process again starting at the Planet Friendly Power Page and re-writing ?

In the 'Add to contest' menu, select and submit to Hackaday Prize first, it should automatically add to Planet Friendly Power when submitted. Your Traveling project is successfully entered in both, https://hackaday.io/project/185129-energy-independence-while-travelling

Is there a way to turn off the "notifications" thing? It's redundant and annoying.

(...or otherwise opt out of that misfeature.)

You mean silencing the red dot?

In a word, yes.

Another strange bug, if I delete a file then upload a replacement with the same name, I get the old contents when I download. Unfortunately I didn't look into it further, and changed the name of the file in the upload. Maybe someone else has encountered this also.

Bizarre HaD buglet, dates rendered in Chinese sporadically: https://hackaday.io/page/12713-bizarre-had-buglet

Thanks looks like an issue with internationalization and the date rendering.

You guys really need to put countermeasures against spammers using webbots to flood the global feed. Many sites have some kind of points system where newbies start with a low post rate limit, and are bumped up by legit participation. Posts beyond the limit can go to personal feeds for any who happen to be following but won't appear in the global feed.

Is there a way to email a question to the designer/author of a Hackaday project?  I am interested in building one of the HACKADAY projects, but there are several pieces of information missing from the write-up.  James Robbins

Have you tried sending a private message to the hacker? No guarantee that they will read and respond though, the account may be abandoned.
