Thanks someone will look into this.

I'm still not getting notifications properly... They do turn up in the feed, but the emails are dodgy and the ticker top of page plain doesnt work, reads zero most of the time unless I'm watching it...

I have another suggestion though. In the Feed, when someone comments on your stuff you get a reply banner with a button so you can comment back. It would be really nice to have this same banner in a Like or Follow in the feed so I can say thankyou without leaving the Feed. I dont like opening up new tabs with HaD in them, more than two or three, and hotmail, and I run out of memory for starters. And clicking out and back into the feed is unreliable.

Are you sure? yes | no

Hi. I don't think the tab order on the log-in screen should be username -> stay logged in checkbox -> password. On most websites I use, it's username -> password -> submit / sometimes checkbox.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 11/28/2018 at 23:12

You're right it should be, thanks.

I rarely get e-mail notifications for project page comments. It's been months since I first reported this. Do you guys have a plan to fix it? I almost regret creating my project page here.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 11/28/2018 at 23:20

As far as I can tell this is because of the Hackaday.io one email per hour limit across all notifications. It's not currently the best solution and we are working to make notifications better. These could come in the form of improvements to the feed or a secondary notification area for example.

Are you sure? yes | no

Arya wrote 11/08/2018 at 23:59

Hi! For a week or two now, I've been getting double the email notifications on likes/follows =D For the record, I'm quite happy that I do get them, and I do hope the behaviour changes I'm seeing are related to us maybe getting more reliable notifications - a long-standing problem of mine. The emails I'm getting seem to really be two emails that are sent separately (and not just a screwup on my email provider's part):

Email 1: https://bpaste.net/show/94fd7605baeb

Email 2: https://bpaste.net/show/79f53e2bf421

Cheers!

Still double notifications. Is there a workaround besides disabling notifications altogether?

Are you sure? yes | no

Arya wrote 11/24/2018 at 12:37

I wouldn't go as far as disabling them, notifications are great *when you get them*. I ignore it for now, but do hope it will get fixed eventually (and we'll get *all the notifications*, maybe?)

Are you sure? yes | no

David Boucher wrote 11/25/2018 at 09:10

I am also getting double emails for comment/like/follow notifications. It started happening after I changed my email address, though that could just be a coincidence.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 12/03/2018 at 20:46

The 2x like/follow email issue should be resolved. Thanks again.

Are you sure? yes | no

Arya wrote 12/03/2018 at 20:51

Got an email notification - only one! Thank you very much, hopefully there will soon be a solution to the missing notification problem, too ;-P Maybe add a checkbox to filter out notifications about project likes or something, it will probably still be under "1 per hour" limit 99% of the time, but creators interested in addressing feedback ASAP will finally get a solution (even a half-working one), and HaD might then become a little more engaging for new users as a result.

EDIT: OH WAIT IT'S ALREADY IN SETTINGS VERY SORRY ABOUT THAT =D

Are you sure? yes | no

Arya wrote 12/03/2018 at 20:54

hey, so if we disable like/follow notifications, will we actually have a higher chance of getting the useful ones? (maybe we could have some kind of QoS by default?)

Are you sure? yes | no

Yann Guidon / YGDES wrote 12/03/2018 at 21:44

I still get 2x notifications... Maybe it will fade away tomorrow ?

Can confirm. Thanks!

Are you sure? yes | no

Mark Dammer MM0DQM wrote 10/27/2018 at 18:55

Hackaday is great, but please improve the image handling. The current way to just crop whatever image there is to square is just ugly. And I notice that even if I create a squared image it still gets cropped at the top and bottom. I would really appreciate if images would be scaled to fit the given space instead.

Are you sure? yes | no

Jan wrote 11/24/2018 at 15:49

It's not just that. Adding a few images with descriptions in a row (in a log entry) often just makes it impossible to get the cursor under that last image to add new text.

Deleting that empty line with BACKSPACE between an image and text? Nope, deletes the image. Using DEL to delete the line? Yeah, maybe. Most of the time also deletes the last image.

And so on. Brought up sooooo many times. Nothings happening. Only reason I stick to this place is the awesome community and projects. The editor is a pile of you know what I mean.

Switching to html mode to get more possibilities editing your entry?! Editor adds a hundred empty lines... Also mentioned a few times.

This is not bound to a special browser. Chrome, Firefox, ... all the same mess.

Are you sure? yes | no

Ken Yap wrote 10/26/2018 at 15:16

Enjoying hackaday, thanks. How come the thumbnail photo for one of my projects on my projects page, and also on the gallery of the project didn't update even after I uploaded a background photo? It's still showing Photo Coming Soon after a couple of days. There are also a couple of photos in the gallery already. The problematic project is https://hackaday.io/project/161909-8042-clock

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 10/26/2018 at 17:17

Hey @Ken Yap the background photo is separate, if you edit the project you can upload photos in the left column. The first position is the project thumbnail.

Are you sure? yes | no

Al Williams wrote 10/23/2018 at 22:06

On the FPGA bootcamps we use Verilog which isn't a choice in the code snippet window. I get that it isn't the usual case to stop the auto detection so I won't complain about that (much). However, it would be nice to give us an option to set a color for unformatted boxes. As it is all the code is gray (with apologies to the Mama's and the Papa's) and it is kind of hard to read. Any chance of being able to set that? I would question if it ought to be global but if not, at least per project or something?

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 10/23/2018 at 23:50

So more contrast between the unformatted text and dark background color? I'll ask what we can tweak there.

Are you sure? yes | no

Al Williams wrote 10/28/2018 at 18:31

Yes. Thanks.

I like this site and the color theme. Thanks guys. I used to have a cool but but I lost that and my wallet and ID cards when I was put in a mental hospital recently.

Are you sure? yes | no

Al Williams wrote 10/12/2018 at 15:53

When you are working on instructions (probably other places too) and you select normal text and press Insert Code Snippet, it works like you think it would (that is, it picks up the text you selected). However, at the end you wind up with two copies of the code. A normal copy and the coded copy usually stuck in the middle somewhere.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 10/12/2018 at 19:36

I see this happening and it may have been intended, there doesn't appear to be an easy way to undo or extract the code from the snippet. Will check some more, thanks.

Are you sure? yes | no

Al Williams wrote 10/14/2018 at 14:41

I could swear this didn't used to happen. The odd part is how it will put the snippet in the middle of the non-snippet. Like:

foo(bar);

[CODE SNIPPET starting with foo(bar) and ending with blah_blah_blah(); ]

blah_blah_blah();

I don't know if it is picking up some cursor position in the code block. It doesn't seem to follow any pattern. Most often there is exactly one line on top and the rest below, but I have seen it randomly have a different split as well.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 10/14/2018 at 15:42

I agree it doesn't feel right.

Are you sure? yes | no

Kelly Heaton wrote 10/10/2018 at 01:29

I've had complaints from non-members that they can't read / follow my project without signing up for a Hackaday.io account... which is a disincentive for me to continue to publish my content here (since I will have to republish for non-members).

Same here, non-HaD members can see your project. Just not interact but simple enough to join :-)

Are you sure? yes | no

Kelly Heaton wrote 10/10/2018 at 13:04

Thanks for checking on this. The source of confusion is undoubtedly lack of technical savvy and/or fear of the unfamiliar. Maybe only members should see platform-specific options, while non-members see a different set of actions -- like "join Hackaday.io" to receive updates about this project, etc. Ultimately, the decision depends upon what Hackaday.io wants to be: a smaller community of technically-savvy people, or a larger tech content provider for a diverse audience.

Are you sure? yes | no

Do you share your profile https://hackaday.io/kellyheaton or a direct link to your project https://hackaday.io/project/161443-hacking-natures-musicians ? I noticed you have a lot of 'THINGS I'VE BUILT' entries, I wonder if they are confusing those for full projects.

Spelling Check feature in English would be awesome, to stop copy pasting texts in Word for performing spell checks

Jan wrote 10/09/2018 at 16:11

Your browser does that for you on text input fields! Its right click "check spelling" or something. You can add languages as you like (at least in Firefox/Vivaldi/I think Chrome too)...

Are you sure? yes | no

Mark Pickhard wrote 12/23/2018 at 13:47

Not all text input fields are checked. Mozilla Firefox only spell checks multi-line text fields, so I didn't notice some misspellings in my components list until I copied and pasted it into an office app. So it would be nice if Hackaday would change all single-line text fields to multi-line.

You can get links to comments. The "3 hours ago" is the link, e.g. https://hackaday.io/project/37-feedback-hackadayio/discussion-113041 for your comment that I'm replying to. For some reason it isn't a link in the feed though, just on the actual project page.

About notification : I think that there is no e-mail notification when someone writes a comment to a "blog post" inside one of my project. On "account settings / notifications", I don't see anythink like that.

If it is correct, could you please add this feature?

f4hdk wrote 08/26/2018 at 19:16

+1 same problem here. I needed to "unfollow" lots of projects and lots of users, that I have never ever selected myself.

It seems that lots of accounts receive unfair "following". It's very easy to see that : some users have more than 10 000 followers with almost no contribution.

There is a bug? Or the database has been hacked?

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 09/04/2018 at 09:25

I always thought that my followers come from that "onboarding" process, where you click yes or no if you like something and through that you follow stuff. Even worse when it happens without you "choosing" something.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 09/04/2018 at 17:51

Onboarding does have a link to show a page of projects/people that will follow, and can be unfollowed before continuing.

Are you sure? yes | no

f4hdk wrote 09/05/2018 at 05:08

@Richard Hogben @davedarko

I have just tested once again the "onboarding process" with a fake account that I will delete in a few days. OK, with my "interests", it has selected less than 10 projects, and not a single person.

It is not comparable with the dozens of people and dozens of projects that I was following on my real account, and which I had never ever selected!

I think that there is a very big problem. If thousands of accounts are forced to follow and forced to "like" people they have never selected, hackaday should treat this issue with high priority.

Are you sure? yes | no
