Seeing some linked picture in my instruction that wasn't supposed to be there. Left side is what's in the editor. Red boxed picture is from someone else's project.

Affected Page: https://hackaday.io/project/20326/instructions Between instruction 3 & 4

Picture is here: https://hackaday.io/project/7700-collection-of-misc-small-project/log/63468-ignore-this-am-i-seeing-things

Looks like on the hackaday.com blog I can't post comments with Facebook anymore. I can login with my facebook account, but when I try to post something, it says it needs eMail and name fields. When I logout from facebook and use eMail and names field, the posting doesn't appear. Login with twitter works (didn't check login with wordpress account).

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 07/17/2017 at 15:41

I'll ask around about this.

Are you sure? yes | no

Yann Guidon / YGDES wrote 07/17/2017 at 01:49

A recent "feature" has appeared on the pages dedicated to the project description : the bottom of the page shows a "Add a project log" button, yay ! (This shows on the projects I own.)

However the link https://hackaday.io/project/undefined-promer/log/add goes to our beloved flying Bender. Who allowed this bug to go to prod ?...

Are you sure? yes | no

RoGeorge wrote 07/17/2017 at 09:20

So, you just want to know who, nothing more.
:o)

Are you sure? yes | no

Yes, I'm a modest guy, I'm even modester than you :-P

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 07/17/2017 at 15:37

Youre right its a mistake and is going to be removed.

Are you sure? yes | no

Yann Guidon / YGDES wrote 07/17/2017 at 17:14

It's working for the log pages but not the main "project detail" page

https://hackaday.io/post/63133 still has the dreaded "undefined", it smells like a JavaScript issue...

I still wonder why these buttons had to be added at all.

Are you sure? yes | no

Arya wrote 07/23/2017 at 15:26

The "Add a project log" is actaully a great button! I have clicked on it already - otherwise, you needed to go to the main project page and then find the "Add a project log" button down below.

Are you sure? yes | no

Yann Guidon / YGDES wrote 07/23/2017 at 15:30

I clicked once :-)

Today I see that the button is removed from the project details page. I can still add logs from other pages though and it's fine :-)

Are you sure? yes | no

Arya wrote 07/23/2017 at 15:35

Well, I think that the "details" page is not supposed to have this button anyway, am I right?

Are you sure? yes | no

Yann Guidon / YGDES wrote 07/23/2017 at 16:00

"supposed", I don't know.
It didn't have one.
then it had, and didn't work.
and now it's gone.
"At least they tried" :-)

Are you sure? yes | no

Feature request: Ignore list for a specified Hack Chat user.

Is there any way to make invisible all messages from a certain user, please?
If not, this is a MUST have feature, please consider adding this feature.

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 07/12/2017 at 08:45

Hm, that can get confusing with responses coming out of nowhere :D I think for personal messages that makes sense and is needed, but in group chats there can only be exclusion.

Are you sure? yes | no

RoGeorge wrote 07/12/2017 at 09:42

There is no absolute right or wrong. Also, judging in the name of everybody else and start banning/excluding people is not what I am looking for.

Confusing or not, the "ignore user" feature is still needed. Please consider it.

Are you sure? yes | no

Van Nguyen wrote 07/13/2017 at 20:33

Hey Dave, we're working on a feature to mute unwanted PMs. Stay tuned

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 07/12/2017 at 09:56

I don't want to be responsible that this comment won't be replied to, because I did - so I'm linking @Richard Hogben and @Van Nguyen and @Van Nguyen

Are you sure? yes | no

Van Nguyen wrote 07/13/2017 at 19:05

Unfortunately, there is no way to hide messages from a user in a conversation at the moment. Foremost, messaging was created for collaboration on projects, and so muting other contributors is not what we're trying to support (however that doesn't apply to more niche scenarios like Hack Chat, as you've evidently noticed).

It's definitely a feature we'll consider for the future. As far as alternative choices go, it is possible to block user messages using a Chrome extension (see this one for Slack: https://github.com/ketanbhatt/block-slack-users). Could be a Hackaday project ;)

Are you sure? yes | no

RoGeorge wrote 07/13/2017 at 20:37

Thanks for the honest answer.

Not a Chrome user, but if the need to block users will persist, I'll try to mod the Chat webpage with some JavaScript and GreaseMonkey. Will post any details as a log entry in the https://hackaday.io/project/6621-hack-the-hack-a-day-editor

Are you sure? yes | no

Christopher wrote 07/06/2017 at 15:42

I just liked a project, and then saw it over on the blog's sidebar as "Christopher Bero likes blah".... Can't this just be my username please? I provided my real name so emails from this site can address me, not really for my actions to be broadcast like this.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 07/06/2017 at 20:28

Thanks, looking into this.

Are you sure? yes | no

Christopher wrote 07/06/2017 at 20:44

I shouldn't have just voiced frustration on a feedback channel, sorry.
Actual feedback would be that I don't understand the difference between the username and a profile's full name on this site, and it doesn't seem to match any other forum I've used. That's not immediately bad, just unfamiliar and maybe a bit jarring.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 07/07/2017 at 01:34

Understandable, and that's what we are discussing. We'll try to clear it up. In the short term, there are currently no private fields on the profile page. Username is referenced in the URL, and 'your name' is referenced elsewhere.

Are you sure? yes | no

Sebastian M. Irazabal wrote 06/27/2017 at 14:11

I've got a question, I new to the community, I've created a public project to show it to the world but it is not listed on the Projects section. Why is that? Thanks!

Are you sure? yes | no

Ricardo wrote 06/27/2017 at 20:36

The same thing happens to me. I set it as "public" and it can be found through the search panel but it is not present in the general list.

Are you sure? yes | no

Van Nguyen wrote 06/27/2017 at 23:52

Hey guys, I'll PM you about this.

Are you sure? yes | no

Dan DWRobotics wrote 07/20/2017 at 19:17

This same thing seems to be happening to me. I 'm guessing there is a minimum post count that stops spammers putting stuff up to the main pages. No biggie but just wanted to share my project with everyone.

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 06/21/2017 at 09:13

I'm not a member of the #Hackaday API (yet?) project, but I can still see the "join team chat button" at the top of the page.

Gravis wrote 06/17/2017 at 21:25

Hackaday.io projects needs to have a "help wanted" type section for specific skills and/or tasks. For example, I have project ideas that needs 3d modelling and zero 3d modelling skills and ideas that need analog circuit designs but I'm strictly a digital circuit and software guy. I can talk to people who have the skills but they have no time to be involved. We need a way to direct people to where they are needed.

Are you sure? yes | no

Van Nguyen wrote 06/27/2017 at 23:50

That's a cool idea @Gravis, I'll note it for the Hackaday team.

Are you sure? yes | no

Sophi Kravitz wrote 07/06/2017 at 20:44

Hey @Gravis you can also post on the #Jobs Board project for now

Are you sure? yes | no

Ed S wrote 06/16/2017 at 16:24

I'd like a list - I'd be happy to help curate it - Homebrew CPUs - for novel CPUs made with chips, transistors, relays or whatever. (Can a user create a list? I suspect not.) There's already a Homebrew Computers list, and that's great, but will have lots of Z80, 68000 and other standard micros - I'd like somewhere to collect and showcase projects which look at CPU design.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 06/16/2017 at 17:26

Hey @BigEd I cant promise anything, but user curated lists were a recent topic and something we would like to have also.

Are you sure? yes | no

Ed S wrote 06/16/2017 at 17:29

Sounds positive!

Are you sure? yes | no

Daniel wrote 06/15/2017 at 20:27

The site works pretty well for documenting projects. My least favorite thing about hackaday.io is that gallery views show up in the back button history. So it is hard to look at several pictures of a project and then "back" to the description.

Are you sure? yes | no

Van Nguyen wrote 06/23/2017 at 17:09

Whether to add or not add picture scrolling to navigation history is universally disagreed on and will continue to be :) There are links back to the project description by clicking the titles or the "back to description" buttons, if this is a fair compromise.

Are you sure? yes | no

Matthias wrote 06/09/2017 at 16:52

I can't upload a profile picture. At the same time, there is no issue uploading pictures for a project. With the profile picture, I get back '{error: null, filelink: "https : // cdn.hackaday.io / images / [myid] .png"}'. But when my browser tries to access that file, it gets an "500: Internal Server Error"

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 06/16/2017 at 17:28

Hi did the profile picture eventually upload for you?

Are you sure? yes | no

electrobob wrote 06/08/2017 at 23:20

Received an email about a private message with had a partial truncated link. It seems the hyperlink is also truncated and in that case it led to a different page. Might want to fix it. (truncate the message either before or after the full link)

Harry Svensson wrote 06/02/2017 at 09:34

I can't reply to every comment, it's weird having a discussion (on my project) and suddenly it ends because I can't respond.

Look at the post right below this one, I can reply to everything Craig Hissett said except for the "thanks mate - I'm on Android using the chrome app :-)". And the post below that one I can respond to everything ActualDragon said except the "nope, shifted...".

So it appears that I can't reply to comments that are on the third "level". Am I the only one who has this problem?

Are you sure? yes | no

ActualDragon wrote 06/02/2017 at 15:18

after a few replies, it stops giving them. try replying to something a comment or two up in the same disscusion. it will still come up at the bottom. not perfect, but we get the gist

ActualDragon wrote 06/01/2017 at 20:01

nope, shifted through all pages on their newest, still nothing, that means they never did like it. and it says 5 people, then it turns out to be like 25
