Someone may have already mentioned this ( tried looking, though ). But, I think there should be an option to remove conversations from "Private Messages"! If that option already exists somewhere, it would be nice to have that option next to the "New Message" button, or something!
Feature request: I know its a bit old school, but it would be really nice to have my personal feed as RSS. Would help me keep more up-to-date on what I'm following.
There is rss for the global feed. I suppose you could filter it.
More than the logo, the 'skull' was an unique method of show appreciation for some project. A skull was a like with quality assurance, lol! I mean, _I Like_ most of the projects I see here but only give a skull to the projects or ideas that deserve a highlight, either by ingenuity or by the hard labor spent on the project or even both.
That is what I mean when I say we lost identity without the Skull and the idea behind it. Maybe the original intent for the skull was to be a 'Like' but hey we're hackers here! We hacked the "facebook alike" concept and turned them into something more powerful, more useful. Something ours!! So please bring back the jolly wrencher and the skulls!
Bones!!!!
Today is a sad day.
We've lost the skull.
We've lost the jolly wrencher.
wait, what'd I miss...? My "give a skull" button turned into "like" a long time ago, was surprised I didn't hear anyone complaining back then. did something else change, too?
Another blunder:
When I click on a project's "Join this project's team" button, it shows a popup that says I submit the project to the HaD prize...
I sent it to you as a private message. Good luck :-)
Text editor is annoying to use. Sometimes, when I delete a word while typing, and continue typing, suddenly the space (which was there) disappears and the word I'm typing is merged to previous word. I have to go back and add a space in between them. Unfortunately I cannot reliably reproduce the issue. I'm using Firefox 48.
Yes problem persists. I've encountered the problem while writing this comment :)
Just to let you know, I dislike the .IO website icon (hackaday.io/favicon.ico). It looks like a tic-tac-toe grid and is not descriptive of the site, the outline box makes it stick out-and not in a good way (everyone else's favicon integrates smoothly), and using fixed white instead of transparent (to let the browser background color shine through) makes it stick out even more.
It is reminiscent of a browser-supplied default icon, for when the website doesn't supply one.
It looks awful, and it doesn't describe the site.
For comparison check out the icons for twitter, PCMag, or Hackaday.com

On the feed when someone mentions you in a page, the headline of the "object-content" class div leads to https://hackaday.io/post/2303 instead of https://hackaday.io/page/2303
Hi, I tested details page, log page, and user page mentions, all links are working correctly. Please let me know if any additional information exists.
Hi, I want to change my username because I decided to use the same username in all my accounts but I got a error "This username already exists" but when I search to hackaday.io/username it doesn't exist. Can you help me ?
We have a list of blocked usernames. I suggest you to pick a new one....
The new default picture for .io picture-less projects looks soo good that I might never want to replace it with a real project picture!
:o)
Thanks and please send a +1 to the artist.
Okay, I give up...how the hell do you get to see the steps and so forth of a project you're "following?" I keep getting pages that don't get me anywhere.
"Following" means that any changes to the project (e.g. new pages added/edits) would show up in "your feed" (I think) and the owner of that project get an extra point in the counter.
Thanks for answering. What I can't find is a description of the project so far, ie; what's been done already, never mind what changes, if any, have occurred. F'r instance, there's a tweet on my twitter feed that announces an "adjustable knife sharpener" project, apparently complete, which I'm trying to see here on the hackaday website. Can't find the details; do a search, there's the project; click on the link; doesn't get me there. Boy, am I confused!
Use the search (or google) if you don't know the project page. Your search term happens to be the most precise one I have ever seen here!
https://hackaday.io/project/14917-adjustable-angle-knife-grinding-jig
If you click on the "your feed", the project updates would be there and you can click on the project (gold link) to go to the project page. There may be additional links on that page for video, source file etc.
Can we delete PM SPAM?
I have been asking for this for close to a year now.
[this comment has been deleted]
Sorry my bad...I was thinking on spam projects/ profiles in feed....
The feed could really use some clean up. :)
My PM has more than 75% SPAM or old messages with no way of removing.
I have just checked with our developers and they are working on it, too...
It would be great to see an improved Reply mechanism. Currently after the 3rd deep message the "reply" link isn't even displayed, which is understandable to prevent the indent of doom but also make replying to a specific message impossible. This is commonly handled by making all posts after the 2nd on the same depth but maintaining the contextual link of a reply. This is how Facebook handles the same issue.
Animated Gifs are not displayed correctly. There seems to be a problem with the alpha-channel. Example: https://hackaday.io/project/1352-cinemagraph-display
Or am I doing something wrong?
[this comment has been deleted]
I solved the problem by uploading the gifs to Imgur.com and then inserting them in the project log:
https://hackaday.io/project/12876/log/45420-3d-printing
If I upload the gifs directly to Hackaday.io, they are not displayed correctly.
I could remove the alpha channel, but wouldn't that lead to much bigger file sizes?

just being a dick and trying to crash browsers...
May be should start using some live spambot blacklist to disable those IP block from creating new accounts and projects? There are free database available and probably scripts too.
How is the HaD blog site avoiding these bots.
Or we could shut down new accounts creation for a week. I think at this rate, legit new users would hesitate to create new accounts to post projects.
that is dynamic ip that can't be block for long time.the javascript like info charts may is the cause of hacked project.
Just block the whole countries - spammers and their targeted market for a few days. Rather that than this site becomes cluttered with junk.

you need reduce the text form and the exuberant code resources of this site.control the flow of packets of user and block their ip for the front transitory solution.
The source code highlighting doesn't seem to work very well for Python code:

the skull is a logo. It says something and means something. this seems to be a not very well thought out attempt at a "logo" but lost its' way.
