Disable follow and/or provide redirect for shelved projects.
Recently a project has been getting some followers despite being shelved and its most recent post pointing to the projects successor. Yet the newer project isn't getting those same followers. Disabling follow might be helpful, a notification the project has been shelved with link to newer project if provided would be great.
I too have projects that I've scrapped or shelved and stated so right at the beginning but it still gets follows. Part of the problem is people may have their own reasons to follow. I think some do it to bookmark to read later. An obsolete project could still be useful to learn what didn't work. Though I wonder about those people who follow dozens of projects in a day, where do they find enough hours in the day to read projects?
So I'm against any mandatory action on obsolete projects. If people ignore messages in the description and still want to follow, let them.
Site Issue! I cannot edit the description for a file that I uploaded. I'm getting "
403 Insufficient Privileges
You don't have privileges for this operation"
Please fix this!
I've mentioned this before, but it would be nice to be able to collapse My Pages as I have written quite a few now, and it takes a lot of scrolling to find the one I want to grab the URL of. A search function over My Pages would also be useful.
It would be really great if browsing the gallery wouldn't affect the browser history, so you don't have to navigate back through all the images you've just watched in order to get back to the project.
+1
There is a link from the gallery back to the project, but that's still a forward link so you can't go back from the project to unwind how you got there.
I would really appreciate if Hackaday could change to using an unambiguous date format such as ISO 8601 yyyy-mm-dd or by using month names. Your use of mm/dd/yyyy can lead to confusion for those of us who live in countries where dd/mm/yyyy is the official and equally unfortunate date format. See https://xkcd.com/1179/ Best wishes!
A strange thing is happening with comments posted to profiles. When a project is mentioned with a hash link, it is seen like this, where I have replaced < with LT and > with GT to prevent any interpretation:
Thanks for the like and follow of LTa data-mention-project-id="182965" href="/project/182965"GT#Board clock LT/aGT!
But once posted, it looks like a hash link as it's supposed to in the feed.
Hello! We're in Ukraine and hackaday.io doesn't open for us at all. It started several days ago and we thought it was an outage at first, but today we checked with proxy and VPN and everything worked. We've checked from different Ukrainian IPs and the result is the same. hackaday.com opens normally, only hackaday.io doesn't. Could you please look into this? Thanks!
Your VPN may not have the correct port enabled in which you would need to contact your VPN SP to request an opening.
Looks like routing to here from Ukraine is timing out around https://kiev-b2-link.telia.net/ you may need to continue using VPN for now to bypass where that issue is happening. I'll let you know if anything changes.
Thanks for looking into it, Richard! We'll have to use VPN for now, hope this issue resolves soon. Will be looking forward for any updates if you have them!
Hello!. Just a question. Why my project site viewer count stuck in 230 views?
The project is not showing to the public?.
Here is the project site:
https://hackaday.io/project/183736-3d-metal-printer
Many thanks!
Hi there, I just wanted to write a buildlog and saw, that the window for adding pictures, code, hyperlinks, etc is gone.
Hey Dominik have you checked the page since then if the buttons have returned?
Not seeing any chat outages here in logs. If these problems are off and on, it could be temp routing issue to you from one of the cdns. I blame the storms.
Well, it says "connecting" and the circular thing keeps spinning. Tried resetting my connection and using another browser - same result.
Edit: The log-edit function is also down again. These issues seem to be connected
Also wrote an e-mail to projects-contact@hackaday.com about this: My project 183321 got deleted. Was this by accident or can you share further information why? Would be quite nice to get at least a project with same number back, because I printed the link on the PCB. Thanks!
is that the one that was private but showed up in my feed ?
no another one. The one which showed up in your feed is still there
Thanks! Any easy/simple reason why? just to avoid it in the future
We made some changes to an over active spam filter, it shouldn't be happening going forward.
Feature request. Can we have a project search that's actually USABLE? For example, I *swear* I remember, somewhere in the distant echoes of my half-addled brain, that there was a C64 emulator using the "ESP32 TouchDown" platform as a project on here, but Search can't immediately pull it up... and clicking on tags and keywords somehow WIDENS the field of results instead of NARROWING it.
Amazon's "I'mma just spam random crap at you coz I've no idea what you want, dude" and Walmart's "Just go to the store bro" website searches are better than this!
If I could find that price might actually buy a TouchDown on Tindie... but I can't find Jack Squat. I'm not gonna bug the guy who made it, this isn't his problem. Im sorry, but: this is Hackaday, can't you guys code?!
The numbers next to tags and components display the filtered search results. Can you share a search link that expands rather than narrows the results?
I also don't see a project like that, Google doesn't have one indexed either.
Did you check Hackaday.com ?
I did not check the Blog side, but I'm pretty sure if it wasn't here then my memory just made it up. It does that sometimes... ADD memory suuucks, man.
The search issue seems to have vanished since this morning; when I experienced it, it was on mobile. Maybe it was related to the "create a new project" bug that the others were reporting...? I dunno. I was on the Chrome browser in my Samsung A11, it badly needs updating and I'm lazy lol. Still hasn't updated but bug has vanished on mobile and desktop both.
Not the first time technology has made a liar of me lol.
How come when I edit a project log it loses all the image references and is in a very small, HTML orientated screen. I also cannot access my account settings to check or change my email settings? What is going on?
Ok, thanks for advice, I will hold off for a few days? How will we know it has been fixed?
Looking into this, is it intermittent? If the log does not load correctly (no image refs) hold off, do not save the log.
Too late, I did keep a copy of the text though. I will redo the 4 images when it is working. However all highlights, links etc are lost too.
Ok this seems to have come good, so I'll just leave the report below for reference.
Creating a new project seems to be broken. When I try to save I get this error from the server: (Note: Happens with 3 browsers, Firefox, Chrome and Opera.)

Even before the Save failure, images couldn't be uploaded, and links couldn't be set.
Is this only on new project creation, are there any tags added before clicking save?
This was when creating a new project. Tags didn't seem to take either. But it's all good now.
Seconding this. Two days already?

Problem must have come back and I was lucky to create my project #TTL ternary clock before it went awry again.
Opening images should not create a web history to click back through! There should be a "web image viewer" page like we have and a script just runs to cycle the images through. Much nicer browsing experience.
Did the Project Log editor get changed? I'm writing a new log for one of my projects right now, last I used it I had formatting options and a nice big box for text editing, now what I'm seeing looks like the chat-box in member chat and there's no formatting or anything.

I hope this is something stupid my computer is doing. I've gotten in the habit of just cutting off the monitor at night, rather than shutting down, I haven't rebooted in forever. If it's an update Hackaday-wide I'm going to have to find another host for that project, as that editor -- if you can call it that! -- is entirely unusable for what I need to do later on.
Chrome build string:
Version 97.0.4692.71 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Running on Linux Mint 20.2 XFCE, on a Lenovo 320, the AMD one, that's erm a bit salvage. Came to me with a dead battery and a smoshed screen, now it's an all-in-one keyboard desktop lol. I'm weird so I put fox stickers all over it and named it the Len-0w0-vo... it made me giggle, what can I say?
Works fine for me. Maybe you blocked Javascript or something, dunno.
I have only one thing blocked, by use of an extension, and that's not it.
Yeah looks like the editor did not finish loading, it should expand, and display the toolbar.
Does it give you an error in console when the page loads?
I see the projects and I like some and I follow some but somehow I'm not able to see anything lists of projects that I liked and I follow !?! Frustrating, I leave.
It's at the bottom of your profile: PROJECTS I LIKE AND FOLLOW.
Love the platform and created my own first project.
Unfortunately it got deleted and can't be found anymore (similar to the last to comments here)
The link was: https://hackaday.io/project/183079-maon/details
Happy for every help I can get, thanks :)
We're sorry. Your project was restored. Happy making!
Hi, I have tried to add my MTPA_420 project twice and both times it has been automatically removed. I am hoping the first version can be restored?
