the stacks input process keeps mangling the url:

very interesting...

Thanks for letting us know. We'll look into it. 

ul.submissions-icons is too large when inside of div.section-skull-and-like-projects, taking up more space than the actual `li.submission-icon`s. This makes it hard to click on the actual project. 

A lot of projects are full of spelling errors which distract from their content. Is it possible to add a basic spell checker to the text editor?

Don't spell checker come with everything now? With browsers and operating systems? 

We are unlikely to add a spell checker to the editor, as people tend to prefer to use the one on their browser. Thanks. 

Hm, I don't think the feed update counter counts according to the feed settings.

We'll look into it. Thanks. 

The user menu (your icon in the menubar) is nearly impossible to find for users without avatars. How about you add an icon as a fallback?

The default icon is a little subdued. I've added this to our list of improvements. Thanks

Also, maybe it would be nice not to use gravatar (which seems to be used only for default icons.)

I'd recommend you using different `name`s for the sign up, delete account, and change password views. Due to autofill, the current state could confuse users, cause them to accidentally delete their account or allow someone to easily change their password.

I've passed this on to our devs. Cheers.

For project logs:

Putting a read more tag anywhere in a list will result in the following logs showing up as list elements in that list.

That's a really annoying bug. We'll get it fixed soon. Thanks for reporting it.

Atmel's page is not working :( 

https://hackaday.io/Atmel

And https://hackaday.io/atmelcorporation gives an error

Thanks for the report alpha!  I believe we have a ticket in with the devs to fix it already

A bunch of time travelers on the message board lately - when someone writes a messages it says "in an hour" for the time when it was written. At least for me. In Germany (greenwich +1 and summertime).

and it's gone. weird.

Thanks Dave, we have a ticket in for this one.

Funky Link at the HaD Blog's "Now On .io" for project 114 #I/O Pin Testing & Observing

In the Now On .io feed the link URL is:

http://www.hackaday.io/project/114-I/OPinTesting&Observing

which, of course, 404s...

I just came across the dildo project ( https://hackaday.io/project/3834-electric-carving-knife-hack ). There isn't much that offends me personally, and this project doesn't. But ... With content like this, HaD will end up being a site I would/could never suggest young makers/students visit. Unfortunate.

Hello John, 

We don't really censor members projects, especially when they are essentially harmless, but do understand that it's not what everyone wants to see especially if you are browsing the site with kids or at work. With this in mind, we are going to implement a not-safe-for-work filter, but it's not ready yet. 

We do want to encourage the next generation of hackers and tinkerers, so we are please that you want to share with younger makers/students. However, the site is not intended for children, so please use your best judgement when deciding to share. I'm sure you've noticed, sex toys aside, there are other projects on the site which are actually dangerous, some with instructions (guns, cannons, fire, plasma etc.). 

We do want to grow the community to have a health diversity, and are really pleased to see projects like yours on hackaday.io. Thanks for taking the time to give us feedback.

I know you don't want any more input on this (why can't we all just get along?), but as a huge fan of freedom of speech and the marketplace of ideas, I feel the need to pipe up...

- as you know, the occurrence of this type of project is *extremely* rare.

- unless a parental figure has been inappropriate toward a child, or they saw this on TV (which again points back to the parent), they shouldn't even know what that item is.

- it seems the victorian era never ended over here - and what's worse is the bottomless pit of hypocrisy that people like mr. schuch like to laddle from.  sex is natural, and in and of itself is not evil...killing people in phony wars is.

Thank you for being logical and having a censorship-free point of view.

I won't be trolled.  And you should look up the definition of "hypocrisy".

Thanks for the reply Jasmine, a NFSW filter would surely be a good idea. 

I know you folks are short on staff and long ideas, but maybe something for the 'someday file' would be the opposite of an NSFW tag. Something indicating a project is totally appropriate for the newest of newcomers to the community. Granted, subjective assessments are always problematic, but I would think a basic metric could be worked out. You said "We do want to encourage the next generation of hackers and tinkerers".  Yes, Yes you should. :-)

- with all the laser pointer advertisements I lost track which I've already reported, would be cool to have a "you've already done that" hint

- the menu button doesn't work on the message page (but I guess you know that already)

Nice idea.

Hey Dave, It should already say that you've reported them and not let you do it again. I hadn't noticed the menu button not working on the mobile message page. I'll put in a ticket for that. Thanks.

i guess i was too lazy to press the link to see this :D sorry. Thank you for the reply :)

it even stands there - maybe I was blinded seeing all those lasers.

same here Dave - the laser mfgrs are firing at us big time. 

I think it does it for comments, profiles, and project reporting; but if you notice it doesn't, do let me know. Cheers. 

If I think of it I will post this comment next time I see one.  

is this the one with popcorn involved...?

It is.  'Real Genius'.

Classic! "Kent? This is god!"

Hey Alex, we're working to make hackaday.io better for mobile, and there will be more possibilities with the API coming out soon. A mobile app would be great though. Thanks.

Would be cool to have something like "email notification off" for group conversations - may also be global and not for each separately.

Hey Dave,

We're working on the ability to separately disable notifications for group conversation. It should be live next week.

cool :)

A few things, that may have already been covered.

I can't read messages on my phone web browser (chrome) everything overlaps. Not sure if this is a layout issue, or just my phone.

I recently noticed that full resolution images are used and then scaled in browser. I usually have a poor connection, so some pages are taking a while to load. Can you scale on the server side (if only to one set resolution)?

Lastly, i use the global feed, and noticed a lot of spam accounts for meds, hotels and possibly non existent products, can you add a flag button?

Thanks H :)

There is a "report as inappropriate" link on the left bottom on most of the pages. Weird findings. 

Bug: When I replace an image in a build log, the operation deletes the 1st character of the post text.

To reproduce: Make a build log with text and an inline image and save. Edit the build log. Select the image and press "delete" - the cursor deletes the image, jumps to the beginning of the text block, deletes the 1st character of text, then jumps back to where the image was.

(I sometimes edit my build log images locally and then go to replace the published one. Deleting the existing image prior to uploading the new one triggers the bug.)

hey, I just tried to post an update to my project from my iPhone, but I couldn't edit the first line because the buttons overflow onto the text area (plus wysiwyg editors just seem to break on iPhone) it just looks like a dIv with clear: both; would fix it, maybe!

Here's a picture: http://i.imgur.com/bAnNqwT.png

Hello Matt, thanks for letting us know and adding the image. It's very useful! I'll add a ticket. 

no problem. Let me know when they get around to it and I'll check it out if you'd like.

Great. Thanks for your help.

How come the number of eyeballs shows up for certain projects, and not for the ones we put up? At least, for me anyway, I don't have that eyeball icon that I see other projects have, and I can't find how to activate it in the upper right corner of profile, project, updates, etc. 

I mentioned this a few months ago; the views counter doesn't seem to update very frequently. The current iteration must be a month or so old.

I know there was a discussion about increasing the view update frequency--is this still going to happen? 

Hey guys, 

Sorry about that. This is still done offline in order to scrub fake views, multiple refreshes from the same user etc. We're working on a semi-realtime version, but it keeps dropping from the queue :) Hopefully should be in soon.

@David Nghiem - we show view counts only on projects that have been seen by more than 50 (unique) users. We have just run an update and all of your projects are in. This one https://hackaday.io/project/4716-control-things-with-your-muscles has 2.2k user views!

@Aleksandar Bradic - so does this mean 2.2k unique users have seen it? Do "nonmembers" count, too? 

Hey Dave! Yep, that's unique "visitors," so it includes non-signed up users as well.

Thanks for the info! I guess view count is a bit more complicated than I thought.. :-)

hey @Aleksandar Bradic, when was the last time this was updated? My project has just less than 500 views, and it hasn't been updated in 3-4 weeks from what I remember.

The tab key should be ignored by the editor if control, alt, win, or command are held down.

Additionally, is is really necessary to have indentation in comments?

I've raised a ticket about the tab key. I've pm'd you about the indentation in comments. Thanks!

Images that exist both as a project image and as part of a project log should not show up separately in the gallery view.

Hey alpha_ninja, there are a few tweaks we need to make to how the gallery/project page images work together. We've got this noted, thanks for raising it.  However, for the time being you can remove the duplicate from the project page images.

Thanks :)
