The hackerspace admin has to update the details. Have you tried to message the crew?
I don't know who is responsible for the entry.
I'll tell them the next time I see the guys.
haha, just saw that you can click it and then get the details with the responsible person. I know the guy and will drop him a message.

It's probably just my flakey 'net connection, but often I see most of a project/profile page and want to click the "Follow" button (and many other buttons as well, including "upvote"), and it sends me to a 404 page... It seems I have to sit and wait for it to load *everything* on the page, including quite a bit that isn't even visible (and plausibly even all the potentially-quite-large images?) before clicking a simple link!
All of these buttons aren't links but some Javascript magic with tokens and stuff so that nobody can cronjob the skullbuttons and no page reload will be initiated when clicked - same goes with comments. Before the cdn servers this took even longer, but I guess there is still some optimization possible.
ah! Thanks for the explanation. The optimization might be best-done on the PEBKAC side of things :)
hehe, had to google PEBKAC :) but I guess it's really just the slow connection :) it's sometimes tough on mobiles, too.
Hah, I wondered if you'd have to google PEBKAC and googled it myself just to see what you'd get... Except I accidentally googled PEBCAK (C/K reversed) first and was surprised it came up with the same basic definition but a little bit funnier. :)
I can't update my profile. It gives me this message:
Link title in External Links section can't be blank.
I've removed the offending link on the profile page but it won't update still.
Ah I got it working. The thing throwing me off is that it put a red box around the wrong link. It was different one that had a blank name for the link.
Hmm, that's odd. I'll put in a ticket for someone to take a look. Thanks for letting us know.
Yay, a "show update in feed" button - a thought on that: when adding a log it should default to checked, but when editing, it should default to unchecked. Also good to see the "view full size" feature in the gallery!
That's a good idea for the feed update, I'll put in a request. I'm really happy with "view full size" for gallery. It makes it so much easier for me to grab images for social media.
Is it possible.......?
I just loaded this page (Feedback) and it only listed comments that were 3 months old and more (definitely not a caching problem, I've cleared my cache *tons* of times in the last three months, and I've definitely looked at and even commented here many times in the past three months!) Then I loaded it a second time, and it seems more current... latest comment is 3 days ago... but I'm almost certain my Feed led me here for comments more recent than that that don't seem to be showing up?
Does it load the comments separately or something?
We did a release yesterday, so maybe the page was loaded while that was happening? Blecky had the last comment, with my reply a couple of days ago.
I don't know what's happened in the last few days. But when I try to edit project logs/details in the WYSIWYG editor I have issues when pressing space. It will put in a line break instead. It only happens on some lines, but it's really hard to edit logs now.
Interestingly, sometimes if you ignore it when saving it becomes a space and other times it stays as a line break.
Edit: this seems to only happen in the latest Firefox and not Chrome.
Hello Blecky. We'll take a look into this. What OS are you using? Is anyone else experiencing this problem? If so, please let us know what browser/OS. Thanks!
Do I need to respond? ;)
Iceweasel 24.6.0 Debian Wheezy. Been bugging me for months!
And happens on other Windows 7 machines with Firefox only. It happens when creating new project logs or editing anything. It turns up when you go to edit a line somewhere in the middle of the post. Adding to the post at the end doesn't seem to be affected.
If your problem's like mine (and it sounds *very* similar, but not identical... due to that last sentence)... I've found that copy-pasting into a Wordprocessing document shows the mysterious newlines as some odd/non-system-wide newline/carriage-return combo (can't recall which... out of order? Only one rather than both?)... which, in the editor, here, can't be deleted...and arrowing around it seems almost to result in its moving around randomly...

That sounds exactly the same. It's a real pain (so bad I've resorted to using Chrome just for hackaday.io).
It looks like this is sorted for when you edit an existing project log, but when creating a new project log it still has this issue.
How do I delete an account? I accidentally created a second account by clicking log in via twitter, when my original account was made via email (@toddmedema and toddmedema@gmail.com for reference).
Hello Todd, when you're logged in to the account you want to delete, go to http://hackaday.io/settings, click on 'Delete my account'.
You can PM me if you run into any problems. Thanks!
Just a reminder, rogue emails still seem to be happening.
Got an email for this comment: http://hackaday.io/page/834-hackinggggg/discussion-20442
All emails are set to off in my profile.
Hello Jarrett, I've logged this, so we'll track down the leak.
There is some heavy javascript going on that is slowing down every keypress in the hackaday.io text boxes. I mainly notice the problem when I hold backspace down to delete a few wors. Lag is pretty bad, when I lift backspace it keeps deleting text for several seconds (or more depending on how long I held the key down).
Hey Alex. Thanks for reporting! We'll look into it. Can you tell me what browser/os you're using?
chrome /windows 7 - also happens on my phone android moto x
This one's been bugging me for a while... And I know it's allegedly not exactly easy, due to the differences between HaD and HaD.io...
But, please add it to the list of things, when that changeover occurs...
It would be REALLY NICE to be able to Follow a HaD article, without having to add a response. Heck, maybe it'd just be a simple "follow" button that links you to the usual Word-Press follow-page...? Doesn't even have to link to my .io account, just to get emails would be nice...
Love the idea. There are some challenges with that (mostly due to the fact that Hackaday.com is on Wordpress) but will add it to the list and we'll figure it out. Thanks!
I'm getting a lot of
extra line breaks (aka enters/ carriage returns /paragraph ends) when
I paste text into Logs, Details, Comments, or a Reply box. Is it just
me? Fire Fox 36.0.1 and Windows 7. This text is a great example
because it was pasted as one continuous line.
There is not nearly enough room to type the background for my project. Fix this please.
Hi Lloyd,
Are you referring to the "Description" section of the project?
Hi, my first project here is a Drone Swarm in which I plan to make nodes of increasing complexity and scatter them throughout my environment. To report individual drone designs I would like the parts list and possibly other features to be subdivided into separate subprojects.
Les
Hey Les, several people have mentioned that this would be useful. We'll try and work something out.
OK cool Jasmine, I appreciate the responsiveness! I have been enjoying interacting a bit with folks i would otherwise never meet. This is fun!

Hello Jackonliam, we're working on improving the mobile view. Thanks for letting us know.
[bug] I wasn't able to copy text in or out of a private message box. Weird.
Hey davedarko, we don't seem to be able to replicate the issue. If anyone else is having the problem, please reply here. Thanks!
Not sure whether it's fixed already, but for me it works.
Hi, I can't add my g+ profile to my profile page, because it contains this germany char 'ö' https://www.google.com/+AndreasHölldorfer still suprised that goolge created this, and in my stupidity I accepted it... now I can't change it...
Hello Andreas, could you use this link instead https://plus.google.com/111510669637026758430 ?
FYI - the external links are behaving a little strangely at the moment when you add and delete. Someone is looking into that issue.
Let me know how you get on.
Haven't seen this one before, but it's now logged. Cheers.
[bug] I played around with the feed settings and noticed that it won't let you select all checkboxes again, if you unchecked some of them.
Thanks Dave, we've already got a ticket for this and are hunting this one down.
Hi,
When I come to the io site to update project I am taken to the 'myfeed' page automaticly.
This is a distraction because I then have to read through the new items in 'myfeed' straight away because the little indicator above the feed icon on the top right of the page resets so if I don't read them 'now' I won't know if there are any new items in 'myfeed' at a later stage.
It would be great if I could upload the updates to my projects first when that is what I came here to do.
It makes sense. We will add Improving the redirect path after login to our todo list. Thanks for the feedback.
As it stands at the moment, projects lack community involvement and that's probably fine for most, but I would much prefer a community driven development approach...
An option to invite co-developers to become part of a project might increase the community aspect of the site...
Mike
Hello Michael, the ability to invite non-members to join a specific project is a great idea. We'll put it on our todo list.
At the moment, you can add collaborators (go to Edit Project), but only if they are already members. You can invite people to join through the site http://hackaday.io/invite (you can get to this via clicking on your avatar in the top right), or by sharing links. Thanks for your feedback.
