Hi,

I noticed that in the https://hackaday.io/myFeed view, when you have a new follower, there are no entries listed on the myFeed web page. The top right "Feed" icon is updated with the corresponding red number on it, but you can not see in the myFeed page a message about who just started following you. Also, when you are going to your profile page, https://hackaday.io/<your_HaD_username>, you can see the number of your followers has increased.

It would be nice to be also notified in the myFeed page as well, with the username of the new follower, not only by the number written over the "Feed" icon.

I still don't know if this happens when you have a follower for a specific project, or when someone start following you.

Do you think you can add an entry in the web page too, please?

Hi RoGeorge, I think we've got some feed improvements coming, so we may be able to work out adding more follow notifications then, but there should be the standard updates in your feed for skulls & follows. 

You might want to check your feed settings - look for the cog next to the 'my feed/global' toggle. If you have 'Updates to my profile' or 'Updates to my projects' unchecked the follows and skulls won't show. 

The red number is for the number of new feed items, not necessarily just follows or skulls. You can click on the followers icon on you profile page to see alist of your followers e.g. https://hackaday.io/hackers/10287/followers

It also works for projects e.g. https://hackaday.io/hackers/all/project/1477/following

Thanks for feedback!

Hi,

A question about the weekly prizes. I won two Stickvise based on two project entered into the competition. I claimed them both, but received shipment confirmation just about one.

1. It happened by mistake, or this is by the rules, that I can get only one?

2. It would be an improvement to the store engine to allow to add more than one coupon codes into a single order. This can lower your shipment costs.

SUF

I had the same question about shipping, but I got two Teensy boards in two boxes, so you should get two.

Will see when the box arrive.

 I was really hoping to have multiple prizes to arrive in one box because each of them is over the $20 Canadian duty threshold.  There is an processing fee of close to $10 Canadian per package before the duty.  Ouch.  That's going to be costly.

@K.C. Lee so paying 10 CAD for 60 USD (u got 2 stickvises, right?) worth? still a bargain, as long as you want them. If not, I'm in Toronto this weekend, If you're near I could buy one off from you for let's say 10 CAD ;)

I won 3 stickvises.  So each of the $29 US stickvise is going to cost me $10 Canadian plus about $1 of duty.  That huge admin overhead is killing me here.  I'll wait to see if they can fix the store instead.  That'll help with their shipping cost too (Also if I win additional prizes...)

But if you have to pay a fine for one package, why don't you order three in a row, or is this somehow not working? What do you want to have fixed in the store? Hope you don't mind me asking. I'm sure @Jasmine will pass this on.

Just as SUF said in #2 list: "It would be an improvement to the store engine to allow to add more than one coupon codes into a single order."   That would be a major improvement for me. 

So far I have won 4 prizes that are taxable.  So if I can lump them together in a single shipment, I would only pay $10 admin  total instead of $40.  Duty wise, I lose the $20 deductions on each additional item as the exemption amount is per package, so I actually going to be paying more to the taxman, but much less for the paperwork.

if they could be marked as gifts/prizes/samples at $0 it would help, whatever is legal. Still very happy with my prizes.

Very good point.

>No tax applies to items specified as non-taxable importations. Examples of non-taxable importations are:
>medals, trophies, and other prizes won outside Canada in competition (but not saleable goods, such as an automobile);

If the prizes could be marked as such with a big congratulation sticker.  Not sure if they fall under saleable goods.

Gfits to/from companies are not eligible to classify as gifts.

I sent an e-mail to the store asking them, but i didn't get a reply after i paid approx usd$ for my lightblue bean. I am not sure if i got the wrong address for them. Maybe you could try @K.C. Lee

Hello Everyone, 

if you have multiple coupons email store@hackaday.com with details and we'll work something out to combine them. 

Unfortunately, we're unable at the moment to differentiate between prizes and regular items when filling out the customs forms. Also, the shopping cart system is not flexible enough to allow more than one coupon. I'll investigate other options. 

@SUF - you should've got confirmation for both orders as their treated separately.

@haydn jones - I'll take a look for your message, sorry if it went unanswered.

We're working to improve a lot of aspects of Hackaday Store logistics, especially shipping. Please bear with us. 

Keep on winning those prizes!

Thanks, can you ask the store to look at my 2 orders in at the moment, i haven't had shipping confirmation yet but they are both prizes. I sent the message to that address on may 29th.

@haydn jones I'll PM you about your orders

I am curious why some of the projects (new ones) don't have a view count?
e.g.  https://hackaday.io/projects/tag/2015HackadayPrize/page/2  There are more.

I hear those view-counts are actually manually-entered and only after it reaches some threshold...

I also interested in this, because on some of my projects looks like it is abandoned, it is ok if it not followed or skulled, but highly unlikely that nobody seen it.

Our project is missing a lot of data because of this :(

https://hackaday.io/project/6041-analyzing-the-hackaday-prize-2015

threshold is 50, if I remember correctly. Meaning 50 not-the-same / unique persons, with or without an account here. 

Thanks Dave. That clears up some confusion :)

Thanks. May be a project name change is in order?

hey guys - just an "official" ;) update on this: view counts are shown only if a project has more than 50 views. As of today, view counts are updated daily (finally :))

nice!

The editor keeps deleting the image size/position attributes.

To reproduce: Start a build log, enter some lines of text, and insert an image in the middle (ie - text before and after the image).

Set the image to float right and size to half the display width. The text should float left, side-by-side with the image.

Go to the end of the text and delete some chars as if correcting the typo. The image pops back to full size and centered - the positioning and size information is gone.

This is especially curious because the image is located several words before the text deletion point. I had thought you're indicating image attributes with inline special chars or something, but the deletion gets them even if the cursor isn't positioned at the image.

Hello Peter, what browser and os are you using? I'll put in a ticket for this. Thanks for letting us know. 

Chrome on Windows XP. The Chrome install is completely vanilla - no plugins or anything.

Randomisation seems off on the prize voting, keep seeing the same projects (some 20+ times) and not finding ones want to vote for. May just be luck of the draw.

Hey Haydn, It's not completely random as it has to take into account projects that are newly submitted. The way it's set up now, recently added projects are shown more often so at the end of the round the views are more even no matter when you submitted. Hope that explains a little. 

Hey Jasmine, just out of curiosity, do you have something that prevents your own project from showing in the voting when you are logged in as yourself?

This might stop people from frantically refreshing while they try to vote for their own projects :P

I'm pretty sure this came up last year and we made it so you can't vote on your own project. However, I'll double check.

Mini mini minor bug - When I sort my projects by "latest update", the newest one without any updates is last, but feels like it should be first. 

Cheers Dave. I see what you mean. I'll put in a ticket for this. 

I think it would be useful to have a menu bar along the top or side of the project page to directly go to different parts of the project, (details, build logs, instructions, etc..).  It does help to have the individual sections concatenated, to make it easier to scroll around, but I think have the menu buttons would help.

Hey Peter, funny you should mention that. Our team is working on some new designs for various parts of the site, and this is one of the things they are going to add to improve the ux. Stay tuned. 

I made a new build log last night, and (because I'm paranoid) looked for it in the global feed this morning.

The build log indicates that it was modified 15 hours ago, but the global feed shows 13 hours ago. Is one of them in Eastern time (my local time) and one of them in Pacific (your location) perhaps?

Hello Peter. I'll get someone to test this out. Thanks for letting us know. 

Hello Hisham, 

1. I can see 4 images for https://hackaday.io/project/4665-aleph. Should there be more? What file type are they?

2. Can you link to a project log where this is happening or have you deleted it? Is the formatting toolbar still not showing for you?

3. For the components list, are you unable to edit it once you've clicked on the 'Edit Components' button? Maybe you can send me a screenshot?

I tried these actions on one of my projects in Chrome, and can't replicate. I'll see if one of our testers can. Is anyone else having these issues? We'll try and work it out.

Let us know if it is somehow resolved. I know sometimes things go a little hinky temporarily when we do a release. 

That's good to hear. Sorry for the inconvience. 

Hi there, 

I got some issues with my projects' gallery. For example, I'm trying to add a picture for my Smartlet project, it loads the picture but instead I get a dark grey empty image, when I then try to open the gallery and view the full size image the following appears:

An error occurred while processing your request.
Reference #30.56d77a5c.1432554628.fdbf422

Thanks for checking.

Cheers, Mick

Hello Mick,  can you provide a link to an image where this is happening? Cheers.

Hi Jasmine, unfortunately I could not replicate the issue after a few hours. 

Thanks anyway for the support ;)

I think it was just a glitch during a release. Glad it's stopped now. 

Hi,

I write my documentation in Markdown, convert it to HTML, and copy-paste it into the HAD project site.  Works great...until I edit again.  Then all the formatting goes to hell.  Specificially, I have some verbatim code and command examples embedded in the text.  When I go to edit the text using the web site's editor, the entire section of code I pasted becomes the verbatim font.  Here's my project, the issue occurs with the "details" section:  https://hackaday.io/project/5471-pyball-a-smart-eye-on-the-world

Thanks.

Big thank you to jasmine! 

I see no where to update .  where is the secret button?????

Hey n2mpm. 

If you are logged in as crew, you should be able to see [Edit hackerspace - Delete hackerspace] at the top of the page above the name of the hackerspace. 

If that's not showing, PM me and we'll sort it out together. 

Cheers.

thanks for your help!

Please Update FUBER labs Location.  really

We don't alter member generated content. We can hide it if needs be (we rarely do this unless it's spam).  

all taken care of thanks again!

For projects you should have the ability to upload files (unless I just can't find this feature). I just started a new schematic, and I think that there should be a very low barrier for getting it to the community.

Hello WimbledonLabs, this is something we are planning to add, but for the time being most people link to files on github, google drive, or dropbox. Thanks for your feedback. 

Please update FUBAR labs location . We are now in New Brunswick NJ. and if i can actually change it i see no way to do it. Thanks!

It looks like the hackerspace was created under the n2mpm account - do you still have access to it? You'd be able to edit with that account.

All fixed up thanks Adam!

All the info about hackerspaces is put up by the Crew. If you are the creator of the hackerspace page, you can go in and edit the location. 

I'm getting a redirect when trying to access "Junkyard Hydrogen Fuel Cell" using Firefox, https://hackaday.io/project/5523-junkyard-hydrogen-fuel-cell/discussion-25391

To reproduce, run Firefox and paste the URL above into the location bar. It immediately redirects to a fuel-cell explanation page which is not the http://Hackaday.io page, but probably a link from somewhere within that page.

Firefox has no problem with other http://Hackaday.io project pages.

Hello Peter, we'll see if we can reproduce it. Thanks. 

Let me know if you need more info.

Are those event labels for hackers still a thing? I'm wondering because sometimes I see them occasionally. Could be interesting for managing events as well ;) But I mostly wonder why there is none for the hackaday munich event. 

Do you mean the badges? Like you have for the 2014 Hackaday Prize on your profile page?

something lke the event badge for "The Gathering LA2014".

and yes like the hackaday prize tag :)

I'm getting a 404 when I upvote a post on Stack

That's strange. It's not happening for me. 

@FLAGG, what platform are you using, and is it happening for every stack item? 

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Just tried again and not happening any more ; )

Could be that the page wasn't fully-loaded before you clicked the upvote button... I learned this the hard-way. Happens also with the Follow/Skull buttons and more. I hear it's something to do with 'bot-prevention.

Good to hear. I'll mention it to the boffins. 

How does a HackerSpace set up a project ? Right now, only individuals can. For example, [https://hackaday.io/project/4380-mapone] is a project by [https://hackaday.io/hackerspace/749-makers-asylum] and not my individual project. I can add team members, sure, but the project as a whole needs to be "attributed" to the Group and not one person.

Hey Anool, that would be great. However, we haven't got that functionality yet.  

I do think we'd still want a main contact person for the project even if it is attributed to a group. 

I'll make a note so we can consider this when we improve the Hackerspaces part of the site. 

Thanks for raising this!
