Search is down right now, anything I type comes up with a blank page

Thanks for letting us know. It should be resolved soon.

Are you sure? yes | no

A few things that I thought that would be nice/helpful are the ability to insert a link between others on a project page, and the hackaday skull for one of the link markers (github/other/etc..), and when clicking on the followers link on a profile and sorting by newest, it would be cool if it sorted by the newest followers instead of the newest profiles.

Are you sure? yes | no

I'm having trouble embedding image links into log updates. I only get the 'broken image' thumbnail. The only wait for me to put images into the logs is by reducing file size below 2MB and uploading to hackaday. Using Chrome v41.

Are you sure? yes | no

Jasmine Brackett wrote 04/07/2015 at 23:56

Hmm, we do have a 2MB upload limit, so there should have been an error message when you tried to upload something bigger. You didn't get one?

Are you sure? yes | no

seminolemuscle wrote 04/08/2015 at 00:00

Sorry maybe I'm not being clear. The issue only happens when I try to insert the image as a link, like from imgur. It works fine by uploading the images, but I have to go through to process of reducing file size below 2MB. It would be nice to be able to use image hosting websites and link images instead.

Are you sure? yes | no

seminolemuscle wrote 04/08/2015 at 00:02

I just posted a test log to my project so you can see my issue. http://hackaday.io/project/3706-openbarbell It's the newest log.

Are you sure? yes | no

Jasmine Brackett wrote 04/08/2015 at 02:17

Thanks for clarifying and for the example.

I just tried from imgur and am getting the same broken image, but if I just use a regular image it seems to work ok. tbh, I don't know if we support image links from imgur. I'll check.

Are you sure? yes | no

seminolemuscle wrote 04/23/2015 at 23:42

What do you mean by regular image? And any update on using image hosting websites?

Are you sure? yes | no

Jasmine Brackett wrote 04/24/2015 at 00:09

Hello,

In the example you sent the url for the image is http://imgur.com/gallery/kJpHkXO 

If it ends with .jpg, .gif, or .png, it should embed e.g.

So you should be able to use any hosted images as long as they have an image file suffix.

Are you sure? yes | no

seminolemuscle wrote 04/25/2015 at 04:28

Awesome. Works great, thanks.

Are you sure? yes | no

TTN wrote 04/05/2015 at 21:00

Will we be able to put links in the description in the same way we can in the details section?

As it is, we can put links in both places, but in the description we can't link a word. It would save me from putting citations in the bottom like this. [1]

[1[ http://example..

Are you sure? yes | no

Jasmine Brackett wrote 04/06/2015 at 17:18

Hey TTN, the description is meant to be short and plain text. This is because it could potentially be used when shared on social media, or pulled out on the search results page. So no, we are not intending to add this link text or editor capability to the description. Hope that explains a little.

Are you sure? yes | no

TTN wrote 04/06/2015 at 18:08

That makes sense.

Are you sure? yes | no

jlbrian7 wrote 04/03/2015 at 23:15

I think that when I clicked on my PM button it made the number of new items in the feed disappear. I will pay better attention next time.

Are you sure? yes | no

jlbrian7 wrote 04/04/2015 at 13:44

That is what happened. Also if I am on the PM page and receive a message everything works properly, but if I click off of the page the new message counter counts the message that I received while on the page.

Are you sure? yes | no

Jasmine Brackett wrote 04/06/2015 at 19:14

Hey jlbrian, we are still fine tuning the new messaging. We'll use this feedback when we make more improvements. Thanks!

Are you sure? yes | no

Thank you for adding an edit function on the CERN contest comments! After realizing I could get a higher resolution image I was able to refine my comments after the fact and spare myself later embarasment.

The home button does nothing on firefox.

Are you sure? yes | no

Jasmine Brackett wrote 04/03/2015 at 17:04

Does nothing happen if you click on the Jolly Wrencher/home button from this page? If you are logged in, the home button takes you to your feed.

Are you sure? yes | no

alpha_ninja wrote 04/03/2015 at 18:52

Nope. Firefox 37.0 on OS X 10.10.2

Edit: Looked around a little bit. Looks like you require google analytics to remember the action before you actually go home. Personally, I think that's absolutely ridiculous.

Are you sure? yes | no

Jasmine Brackett wrote 04/03/2015 at 20:27

Duly noted. I'll let the boffins know about the bug.

If anyone else is noticing this, please let me know with your browser/os. Thanks!

Are you sure? yes | no

Hacker404 wrote 04/14/2015 at 04:16

This feature really annoys me. I like to browse around and see what others are doing on their projects but I can't go to the public home page as it redirects me to 'myfeed'. I have to then log out so that I can open the home page and then login again to see 'myfeed'.

I am sure that most people (like myself) would like to spend more time browsing the io site than just updating projects.

To me it makes more sense to have a 'myfeed' link on the home page. I am sure regular users would find it easy to bookmark 'myfeed' if they wanted.

I don't understand the logic of having to log out to see a public page.

Are you sure? yes | no

Hacker404 wrote 04/14/2015 at 04:19

Jasmine, the post above was a reply to -

"Does nothing happen if you click on the Jolly Wrencher/home button from
this page? If you are logged in, the home button takes you to your
feed."

But for some reason the post ended up being a reply to a different post.

When clicking the feed next page button, I get to the next page but it scrolls way down.

Thanks Dave. We are working on getting it to work on mobile. We just wanted to get something out to try first.

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 04/03/2015 at 17:44

you seem to have a responsive css design, "just" hide the new message button when the design is small and when its big hide the old message board button. This way the best of both worlds is out there - https://www.dropbox.com/s/iosgnztmbwi3lii/Screenshot_2015-04-03-17-30-54.png?dl=0

Eric Hertz wrote 04/04/2015 at 05:03

@davedarko, you seem to be treading on my "realm of inaccessibility" ;)

Desktop, here... but with flakey internet... I wouldn't mind if the new (private) message-system/chat was optional... could optionally choose to use the old system, instead (yeah, I realize I'd have to click the "refresh" button, but I don't mind).

I dig the concept and the realtimeishness of the new system, but I've been spending quite a bit of time (as in *minutes*) with a little spinning wheel and no messages, and new messages tend to show up several minutes (sometimes hours) after they were sent.

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 04/04/2015 at 06:08

retro.hackaday.io :) before the messages had an email feeling. Now they have an instant message feeling.

Are you sure? yes | no

The address of the local Hackerspace has changed. Is someone specific responsible for the entry or can it only be changed by the admin? Don't want to mess around with the database.

Are you sure? yes | no

Jasmine Brackett wrote 04/02/2015 at 20:16

The hackerspace admin has to update the details. Have you tried to message the crew?

Are you sure? yes | no

I don't know who is responsible for the entry.
I'll tell them the next time I see the guys.

Eric Hertz wrote 04/02/2015 at 00:37

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!

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 04/02/2015 at 03:57

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.

Are you sure? yes | no

Eric Hertz wrote 04/02/2015 at 05:05

ah! Thanks for the explanation. The optimization might be best-done on the PEBKAC side of things :)

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 04/03/2015 at 11:48

hehe, had to google PEBKAC :) but I guess it's really just the slow connection :) it's sometimes tough on mobiles, too.

Are you sure? yes | no

Eric Hertz wrote 04/04/2015 at 05:09

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. :)

Are you sure? yes | no

TTN wrote 04/01/2015 at 21:12

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.

Are you sure? yes | no

TTN wrote 04/01/2015 at 21:14

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.

Are you sure? yes | no

Jasmine Brackett wrote 04/01/2015 at 21:19

Hmm, that's odd. I'll put in a ticket for someone to take a look. Thanks for letting us know.

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 03/31/2015 at 15:47

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!

Are you sure? yes | no

Jasmine Brackett wrote 03/31/2015 at 19:01

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.

Are you sure? yes | no

Eric Hertz wrote 03/31/2015 at 04:52

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?

Are you sure? yes | no

Jasmine Brackett wrote 03/31/2015 at 19:03

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.

Are you sure? yes | no

Blecky wrote 03/28/2015 at 13:32

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.

Are you sure? yes | no

Jasmine Brackett wrote 03/29/2015 at 19:50

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!

Are you sure? yes | no

Blecky wrote 03/29/2015 at 22:54

Windows 7 :-)

Iceweasel 24.6.0 Debian Wheezy. Been bugging me for months!

Happening on Firefox 36.0.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS too.

Are you sure? yes | no

Blecky wrote 04/26/2015 at 23:20

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.

Are you sure? yes | no

Eric Hertz wrote 04/27/2015 at 01:13

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...

Are you sure? yes | no

Eric Hertz wrote 04/27/2015 at 01:13

Are you sure? yes | no

Blecky wrote 04/27/2015 at 01:17

That sounds exactly the same. It's a real pain (so bad I've resorted to using Chrome just for hackaday.io).

Are you sure? yes | no

Blecky wrote 05/04/2015 at 07:32

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.

Are you sure? yes | no

Disregard my last comment, it's still knackered.

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).

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...

Are you sure? yes | no

Aleksandar Bradic wrote 03/18/2015 at 02:48

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!
