I posted a comment (below) about noting the 5-day response period in the prize winner E-mail.

Dusan responded once, but I received 6 E-mails saying that he had responded. Each was identical, each referred to the comment below.

Probably should only send out 1 E-mail when someone responds, even if it is Dusan :-)

I'm having trouble seeing my logs on the logs feed (https://hackaday.io/project/6938/logs/), it says I have 15 logs, but it only allows me to see 2 pages and there are only 3 logs per page... so 6 in total. I think there's something terribly wrong with the log pages, other project pages have the same issue, can you check please?

Are you sure? yes | no

I think there is an issue with the followers statistic on projects, I have a project that says there are 12 followers, when I click to see details there are only 7 followers:

https://hackaday.io/hackers/all/project/11790/following

Also, I'm not getting email alerts for new followers on my projects - checked my spam folder, they aren't going there so I think they are not going out. Something funky is going on.

Over 30 years ago I worked at Fairchild in San Jose, Ca. We had a computer running the diffusion tubes. To make IC's . It used all the same things plus more. It took three computers per eight bank of tubes. They were 16 bit CPU's with 16k core memories in the master and 8k of core memories in the slave computers. We were making the 8088 cpu for Intel. I repaired the PCB for this computers.

I’am a new user on this site.

I was not aware
when I selecting the interest domains, I signed up for all the projects in that domain.

Is there a fast way to delete them all? Or must I go to all the entries and on-“Follow” them
one by one.

Pleas Gif me Info

when I click 'read more' on a truncated project log, it loads a new page and puts me back at the top of the log. It should jump to where I was when I clicked the button.

My project is one of the 20 recent winners, and I received an E-mail notification.

I only discovered by chance that I have only 5 days to respond to the E-mail in order to claim the prize. There is no mention of this in the E-mail, perhaps there should be.

For my part I was offline for 2 days, and then I have questions about the W9 form. This is a team from our hackerspace - should the prize money go to me personally, or should it go to the space? H&R Block was of the opinion that it should go to the space, but the contest rules specifically say it goes to an individual.

I would have *liked* to ask the directors of the hackerspace about this, but I'm running out of my 5-days to respond so I just filled it out in my name.

Please consider putting a note about the 5 days in the announcement E-mail.

I've been updated a private draft on one of my projects, and it bumps the project up to the top of the feed. I'm okay with the extra visibility, but it seems to be a bug in logic. Only visible changes should do that imo

Unable to add new log.

Added log here:

Posted log here:

And I can't save as draft either.

I opened a new tab, re-done "new log" procedure and I copied-pasted from the older window - to see if this "too large" request is somehow related to a connection timeout/security timeout problem. The same error.

It is possible the [code snippet] is responsible, because the code is more than 1000 lines.

At this time I am unable to add new logs. Please advise.

Later edit: fixed that by removing "c++ syntax" highlighting from code snippet. Just "No highlight".

I'm getting intermittent 404 pages from some of the HAD winners posted today. It's 12:09 AM Eastern time in the US (on Tuesday morning).

I've gotten three now - the most recent is https://hackaday.io/project/11225-a-new-high-accuracy-tilt-sensor which is definitely a valid page, but sometimes it pops up with your flying bender 404 page. (https://hackaday.io/project/11225-a-new-high-accuracy-tilt-sensor was the first one I got. It's also fine now.)

The first two I originally thought might be a typo or something on my part, but I'm only clicking on the links and after the 2nd one failed I started being careful and watchful.

Using linux Cinnamon recently (Sat) updated to current, using Firefox. Nothing special on my side, it looks to be on your end.

So, I'm mining my Facebook posts for pictures and project logs about the SoftEgg Dome, and it occurs to me that if Hackaday had some sort of Android app that took pictures and let me add updates to my projects (and then maybe auto-post those to Facebook, G+, etc.), I'd be updating it a lot more frequently.

I'm hitting a 413 error when trying to submit or save my latest log. I copied and pasted from a word doc (including some low res pics). My guess is that there is allowance for pictures added explicitly with the 'insert image' option, but not for those pasted in despite the editor supporting direct pasting of images. One quick fix might be to change the upper size of http request allowed by the server, although I'd understand if you're worried about doing that. The other option would be to catch this error and ask users to manually insert the images. Total size of all images and text I'm trying to upload is <2MB. Chrome, on Ubuntu.

Hello, I notice when I use Hackaday.io "chat" (i.e., Hacker Chat project) on a phone, I get a nice "arrow" to close the "messages" left sidebar (and I think the "members" pane on the right side). However, when using a PC (or an Android tablet even), these "arrows" don't appear and you lose "too much" screen space from these sidebars (which are generally not too useful while chatting). This is really bad on small screen laptops and tablets (which may "appear" to have large screens, but with common "retina" displays, still not enough room - or a microscopic font). I am wondering if you can make it so everybody can close (or minimize) the distracting sidebars?
Thanks.

Riiiiiiiiiight. A whole bunch of new account all show up one by one to "like" the same project. To "like" the same project that SPAM people's PM for "likes"?

Not bloody likely. Gentleman sharpen your pitch forks!

still incoming fake "likes" for this user. Script still running or just don't care?
May be only people that have been on the system a while (a cooling off time) and have projects can vote?

Also seeing similar pattern on "COCITO WEATHER STATION"

How can anyone like an empty project!? Really? Dead give away is what these new account do as soon as they are created and always the same few descriptions.

davedarko wrote 04/28/2016 at 18:14

Man you have an eye for that :) Cocito is not really empty though and I gave a skull. 30 bugs for a writing a skull giving script sounds reasonable :D I don't think they ran out of money at the end, or did they? That would suck, but otherwise I'd call this creative funding ;) I hope I don't annoy you today.
