Last night I had a bug where I updated the project details and a bunch of text and images disappeared entirely as if they were deleted, some sections also got duplicated. Luckily I had a backup of all my writing but if I didn't I would have lost a ton of work. You should definitely look into this.

Can you please send me the link?

Trouble replacing a file with a file of the same filename

I tried replacing a file in a project profile with an updated version of the file with the same filename, but the old file seemed to persist.  So, I deleted the old file and added the new file with the same filename, but the old file seemed to persist.  Ultimately, I deleted the old file and added the new file using a different filename, and that worked.  Throughout the above, I reloaded the pages in my web browser to try to rule out the possibility of the old file being cached by my web browser.

Thanks for the feedback.

Two projects that I *know* are vying for the contest don't have videos showing in their project page. I hope they got the E-mail and figured out that there is a new field in the project for it.

How to get the video link on the sidebar wasn't explicit in the E-mail, and it's not spelled out in the "Details" or "Rules" pages either.

I hope HAD will be understanding if people have videos posted in their "links" section, but not the official "Prize Video" section.

(Both projects mentioned are from non-US people who are probably ESL.)

@Peter Walsh  can you send me the links to those projects please?

I PM'd both parties and left messages, and they both responded so we're all good.

I just wanted to point out that it wasn't obvious to me from the E-mail, and I had to dig around to discover how to do it. Next year, consider putting this on the Details page.

The projects were:

https://hackaday.io/project/10188-automatic-digital-microscope

https://hackaday.io/project/11225-a-new-high-accuracy-tilt-sensor

Difficult to read Components description (grey text colour)

I find it difficult to read and edit the descriptions of components in a project because of the dark grey text on the black background. It would be great if this can be changed to lighter grey!

Thank you for your suggestion, ticket has been written...

I am having the same issue! 

I am having the same issue! 

the skull is a logo. It says something and means something.  this seems to be a not very well thought out attempt at a "logo" but lost its' way. 

Someone may have already mentioned this ( tried looking, though ). But, I think there should be an option to remove conversations from "Private Messages"! If that option already exists somewhere, it would be nice to have that option next to the "New Message" button, or something!

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.

Seconded! An RSS feed would be swell!

There is rss for the global feed. I suppose you could filter it.

I've just wrote a "Wish List" ticket.

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!!!!
  

Today is a sad day.
We've lost the skull.
We've lost the jolly wrencher. 

2016-10-06, never forget

Totally agree... we've lost identity.

As long as they don't push Farmvielle on us...

wait, what'd I miss...? My "give a skull" button turned into "like" a long time ago, was surprised I didn't hear anyone complaining back then. did something else change, too?

Another blunder:

When I click on a project's "Join this project's team" button, it shows a popup that says I submit the project to the HaD prize...

Can you please send me a link?

I sent it to you as a private message. Good luck :-)

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.

Is that still an issue?

Yes problem persists. I've encountered the problem while writing this comment :)

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

http://hackaday.com/favicon.ico

Great point! This should be fixed tomorrow.

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 

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi, I tested details page, log page, and user page mentions, all links are working correctly. Please let me know if any additional information exists.

Hi, I want to change my username because I decided to use the same username in all my accounts but I got a error "This username already exists" but when I search to hackaday.io/username it doesn't exist. Can you help me ?

We have a list of blocked usernames. I suggest you to pick a new one....

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!

:o)

Thanks and please send a +1 to the artist.

Glad that you liked picture. Will send +1 !

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.

"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.

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!

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.

Can we delete PM SPAM?

I have been asking for this for close to a year now.

yay :)

Sorry my bad...I was thinking on spam projects/ profiles in feed....

The feed could really use some clean up.  :)

My PM has more than 75% SPAM or old messages with no way of removing.

I have just checked with our developers and they are working on it, too... 

It's on production !!!

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.

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?

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?

Thanks for the feedback!
