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.

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!!!!

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.

Are you sure? yes | no

Dusan Petrovic wrote 10/11/2016 at 15:17

Is that still an issue?

Peter Walsh wrote 09/26/2016 at 22:39

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

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!

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.

Are you sure? yes | no

K.C. Lee wrote 09/20/2016 at 17:30

"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.

Are you sure? yes | no

Tracy Walker wrote 09/20/2016 at 18:00

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!

Are you sure? yes | no

K.C. Lee wrote 09/20/2016 at 18:55

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.

Are you sure? yes | no

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.

Are you sure? yes | no

Max.K wrote 09/11/2016 at 14:53

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?

Are you sure? yes | no

[this comment has been deleted]

Max.K wrote 09/12/2016 at 12:06

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?

Are you sure? yes | no

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.

There is an aggressive spam bot on hackaday.io.
It creates new users and spam projects.

Right now, the latest 50 or so projects are spam created in the last couple of hours.

Are you sure? yes | no

K.C. Lee wrote 09/07/2016 at 11:51

They really should automate to remove some of these bots and removing their posts from the feed. Sound like a HaD project/contest.

Another idea: using robot.txt to block off search engine for newly created account profiles and their projects for a week. The extra time give time to clean up the SPAM. This would prevent those that try to abuse search engine ranking.

Are you sure? yes | no

Yann Guidon / YGDES wrote 09/07/2016 at 15:32

I fully agree.

K.C. Lee wrote 09/10/2016 at 04:17

Pretty evil to spam the "NOW ON HACKADAY.IO" on HaD blog site. May be should consider disabling new sign up from those IP blocks from China, India until the SPAM bots give up.

Even a cool down of 1 week of limiting the new account in those IP blocks to read only status would help a bit.

May be a "Are you human" test designed for hackers -code segment, block diagrams, schematics, general questions that a person that would have a legit project would know to weed out the marketers, CEO C level business types, spammer, bot etc. ?

"keeping on top of spam on a site like this is a full-time job!"

I know what you mean... mayebe it's time for some spam-traps / honeypots, or an extra phase for the account creation ( honestly, it was too easy )

good luck
