Hi, my last project page (https://hackaday.io/project/176716-uterm-s) is suddenly disappeared now when I was editing it... Aaghh...

The strange thing is that I can download the files in the Files section using a cached link...
 (e.g. https://cdn.hackaday.io/files/1767167560617344/A200419%20-%20SCH.pdf)

Sorry about that. It's back up now.

Yep thanks you very much!!!! :-)

BTW: Could I have done something wrong? Just to know...

UPDATE: I've just read your mail... Ok. :-)

It may have just been temporarily mis labeled as spam.

Hi, I created a new project, but it's not displayed in All projects. Also a number of views stays doesn't show up, even though I know my friends looked at it. What's going on?

https://hackaday.io/project/176419-quadbot-12-dof-walking-robot

Ok, I can see Views now, that it has over 50 views. But it still doesn't appear on All projects, it seems.

Hey your project looks good! There is a minimum time on new accounts where projects are not listed immediately. It should appear soon, and your subsequent projects will appear instantly thereafter.

Thanks for clarification :) Maybe it's worth putting in a FAQ/help? I love the site, great community.

The "My Notifications" button seems to be dead, and I can't figure out why. It doesn't appear to have a link associated with it anymore. Tried from both Chromium on a Linux laptop, as well as Chrome on my Android phone. Very frustrating. Otherwise, love the site.

I'm having the same problem.  I have 6 notifications but can't find a way to view them.

If you are trying to click the red dot, try clicking on "My Notifications" in the drop down menu that opens on hover instead.

If you are trying to click the red dot, try clicking on "My Notifications" in the drop down menu that opens on hover instead.

I tried this a few times, no luck. Right clicking on it doesn't give any options like "open in a new tab", so it seems that the link is no longer there. 

That does not work either.

Ok I think this is an issue of an error not displaying. Open in a new window won't function even if this was working for you. I'll troubleshoot and check back in.

Thank you very much. I did all I knew how to do, but web development and such is certainly not my thing. I have to keep finding this thread to check in on your responses.

Update: Mot sure what happened, but this is working now. I was able to get to this discussion thread from the notifications section. Whatever you may have done worked, so thank you very much. I'm not used to getting an actual, relavent response from a real person these days. Cheers, and thank you for all you do here!

Great!

I have been working on a long "Details" section for my project #Driving an LED Matrix From a Raspberry Pi and stuff seems to be disappearing at the end of the section. If there is a maximum length for that section, it would really be nice to be warned that it has been hit rather than just deleting stuff off the end.

So I just learned - never ever edit your log live on this site.  A notification in my feed just erased 30 minutes of typing when it reset the frame.
It was the second time this happened - I thought the first was a fluke.

I'm calling shenanigans.  There is a bug in the notification code that whacks in-progress log edits ( and probably other entry dialogs ) and resets the user page edits.   So ya wonder why its rare to see more than a couple logs per project, eh?

Did the page reload after you clicked on your notifications, or are you saying it happened by itself? 

The page reloaded without clicking notifications - while I was typing.

Ok there is no active push or reload that would happen on a project page after 30 minutes of typing. The site just doesn't work that way, so there must be something else going on.

Thanks @Richard Hogben    perhaps it is something else, I'm editing offline and cut and paste to the page to avoid losing work.   The only other work-around is to frequently save drafts ( sorta wish that was automatic ).   I appreciate the reply.

I'm going to try out adding modal that confirms you want to navigate away from the page before having clicked on Save. It might have helped in this case.

Hi, are there updates on this? A confirmation modal could have saved my work as well, see https://hackaday.io/project/37-trollduino-v10/discussion-156698

The mobile interface is unintuitive. There are menu entries for creating new projects, new pages, and new project lists, but no entries to browse one's own resources, one has to go through the profile. I would think it's far more likely for a member to create entries from the desktop interface. In any case there is still a lot of space on the menu so why not add shortcuts for My projects, My pages and My lists? You had those in the last iteration.

I'll see what can be done to squeeze them in.

Why do view counts get stuck?   The view counter cannot be correct - for days at the same number???????

Sorry about that they are, they're working on getting this corrected asap.

Thank you for the reply @Richard Hogben ! I've been trying to gauge interest in my logs for a project and that became opaque. I've been pondering a few rabbit holes and won't doc them as I go if it isn't interesting for someone else as well. I appreciate that things don't always work as desired :)

You should be seeing updated views now.

Thanks! You are correct, sir.

This link complete biotINK bioprinting kit for Ultimaker 2+.rar at this page https://hackaday.io/project/14501-biotink-the-bioprinter-of-tomorrow is not working :(

Not sure why right now, I'll try to found out.

Sorry for the newby question-is there a way to change the 'dark' theme to something more old-fashioned with a light background? I know dark is supposed to save energy on some displays, but cranking my screen brightness to 100% or more to read is counter to that. Hopefully some simple click?

At the moment you would need to use another tool to adjust the colors of this website. There might be some browser plugins to accomplish that.

I agree that people should have a choice but dark theme is not about energy saving, but rather that some people find a bright display glaring. It might have been true in CRT days, but for your typical LCD display, for a dark display the backlight is still at the same brightness and consuming the same power, only that the LCD blocks more light.

Another possible work-around for adjusting your brightness/contrast is the gamma setting for your display driver. When I'm using one of the CRTs in the shop, I have to turn it way up to see anything at all here. For Debian (and others), one command to try is: xgamma -gamma 1.5

The "views" counter does not seem work properly. 

It doesn't seem to be just some delay, I have a project stuck at 161 views for several days. It has been featured on hackaday.com but is still frozen. The embdeded (and otherwise unlisted) videos have a couple thousand reproductions. 

I'll look into it thanks

It looks like your project is now at 1600 views.

My project is https://hackaday.io/project/175543-easy-raspi-configuration

Using "edit project" I'm allowed to upload 6 images to the gallery. When I delete images, there is a blank space where I can upload a different image.

The gallery for the project has 7 images, and the 7th is a leftover from long ago.

How can I delete the 7th image? The upload grid only allows 6 images, and if I delete an image leaving a blank space, the 7th image doesn't shuffle down into the blank space.

The main project image is the 1st image, the lower 6 are extra, if you hover over the top large image there should be a small 'X' icon in the top right corner to delete it then you can upload a new one.

I believe only the lower 6 behave in the way you describe while the top main image always occupies that spot unless you remove it.

The main photo is a duplicate of the one in the UL corner of the image grid. When I delete the main image, the UL corner image is also deleted, the images shuffle left, and the 2nd image is now the main image.

I'm aware of the "X" in the upper corner, but deleting the main image causes the other images to shuffle up and replace it. There are only 6 images allowed, total.

This morning I figured out where the 7th image came from and how to delete it - it's a gallery image that doesn't come from the "edit project" images grid. The problem stems from my thinking that the gallery was composed of images from the "Edit Project" page, but that's not a complete description of how images get into the gallery.

Ah you're right, they all shuffle left. I guess it needs a sort order without having to delete them, or not auto shuffle left.

Yes the gallery will contain images scraped from your other pages, I can see where that could be confusing because it doesn't visually show where they came from. A link 'back to content' or something might be useful.

I'm having trouble embedding a youtube video in my project description.. Embedding in the editor works and the youtube video is in line with the text, but when I save the changes, the video disappears and is not shown on the project page whatsoever. When I go back into the editor, there is a huge empty area where the video used to be embedded but no video. I've resorted to just inserting the link, but very frustrating...

Looking into this for you

This should be correctly inserting YouTube videos now

Saw that the menu entries on clicking on the avatar at the top RHS are now more clearly worded. 👍

Yes some small changes there!

Confirming email after creating an account doesn't seem to work properly 100% of the time. While onboarding, selecting topics of interest requires multiple clicks on the buttons, and sometimes it doesn't even work. I think there might be some issues with that page.

Image uploading to Hackaday.io is temporarily out of service while some upgrades are being performed, sorry for the inconvenience! 

Image uploading is turned back on, message me if you have any issues, thanks!

I'm getting emails from a deactivated account (I accidentally created two accounts), but they do not have an unsubscribe button.  Either deactivated accounts should not receive the newsletter, or they should be able to unsubscribe without reactivating the account.

Just to confirm, you deleted a duplicate account and that account receives the Hackaday newsletter? It should have been unsubscribed if so, I'll double check.

That's right, happy to send my email: it's "username@username.com", where "username" is my username ;-) 

It would be nice if the system prompted for and published a one-line reason for a change to a project so that one can see at a glance what an update was about, e.g. changed project status, added an explanation to details, corrected link errors. Otherwise it's usually not obvious what has changed in the project.

Hi, The project editor code is having problems. I added a new project and referenced two other projects in the body. After the second project reference, the text color remained gold and nothing that I could do would return it to white. Also, it would not accept entries in the files section.

I am using Firefox 80.0.1. The project is #Multiple Value Parallel Capacitor Testing 

Any help appreciated.

I see the rest of the text that has been linked. I can PM you to fix this.

Are you also saying you can not upload files to the project, or that you can not insert images in the editor?

Initially, I could not upload files to the project. After I closed my web browser and came back later, I was able to upload a file to the project.

Hi guys, I just joined and can't get the system to accept my username so that I can start a private message. Any help appreciated.

what username will it not accept?

Insertion of Tex equations appears broken in couple of ways. First, when inserting formulas, the formula doesn't usually go where the cursor is located when you hit the formula button. Most of the time, the formula is at the beginning of whatever I am working on. I can't copy and past in the wysiwig editor so I have to view in source, cut the Tex formula and paste where I actually want it. Second, there is no way to edit once you have entered a formula-- well you can but you have view source and edit the raw text. There is no way to get the insert buttons and preview like when you enter a new formula. And lastly, formulas that were previously working seem to have disappeared altogether now. When I try to enter a new formula, it just doesn't work.

Is there any way to get mathjax and or asciimath support on this site? I tried to add the asciimath incantation script into the raw html editor but I guess the incantation needs to be in the <head> in order to work.

Can you give me an example of which symbols no longer work? Are you entering them directly into the preview field or clicking the icons above?
