Adding to feedback from others a long time ago that displaying the date in the US format can be confusing.  Only a small number of countries use the MDY ordering. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country

can I have the "add log" button at the top of the logs and not at the bottom please.

Can we get a button somewhere to view all projects we have liked/followed?  It would make managing our feed much easier.

In your own profile there is a link near the top to the section Projects I Like and Follow. But it's unclear to me if this means (Liked & Followed) or (Liked | Followed).

It's either or liked or followed, https://hackaday.io/projects/hacker/901293/likesandfollows

Hello HaD Team,

another pressing need is a tool, not unlike what Facebook provides, to download the whole contents of one own's project, for many important reasons :

* offline reading (yes, Internet is not available everywhere)

* offline backup / storage

* prior art

* versioning (yes we can update logs but there is no roll-back)

etc.

I had hacked #HackaDump  but it is broken because the website has evolved and changed the tags that the crude script expects.

So please HaD dev team, we need either:

* An external tool like #HackaDump  to personally download one's project(s) but there are issues such as not triggering DOS filters or multi-platform support

* Or a "download project" button/option/menu items somewhere deep in the management page where  you can request to download an archive (Facebook provides a .zip) with a dump from the database (all images, logs, comments, eventually as a web page, without all the space-wasting cruft of the various scripts and trackers, because yes I had to look at the source code and all its cruft :-P

@Dusan Petrovic said there is a ticket, I hope this will finally succeed !

ça ne m'a vraiment pas fait rire, j'ai vraiment d'énormes difficultés à lire votre site à cause de ce dark mode, je ne parviens pas à m'impliquer, alors que je sais qu'il y a beaucoup de contenu intéressants de projets à découvrir, mais je n'arrive pas à circuler sur ce site, le thème dark de ce site en particulier me perd totalement. J'ai tenté de modifier la CSS, d'activer le mode reader, mais rien n'y fait, dernièrement, j'ai même du installer un plugin que je n'active que pour ce site et même comme ça, je n'y arrive pas. Pourquoi ne pas proposer un light mode ? Dans votre article vous dites que tout le monde a switché vers le dark fut un temps (et leurs thèmes dark, je parviens à m'en accommoder car il est suffisamment contrasté et organisé) mais tous les logiciels et les sites sur lesquels je suis propose un dark theme ET un light theme. Pourquoi pas vous ?

J'en viens à me dire que je vais juste quitter la plateforme et envoyer au diable le prochain qui m'incitera à revenir, car je ne vois pas de lumière au bout du tunnel. C'était une tentative de blague mais je suis réellement très triste :"-(

---------------

Https://hackaday.com/2021/04/01/hackaday-forced-into-light-mode/ it really didn't make me laugh, I really have enormous difficulty reading your site because of this dark mode, i can't get involved, although i know there is a lot of interesting project content to discover, but I can't get around this site, the dark theme of this site in particular totally loses me. I tried to modify the CSS, to activate the reader mode, but nothing helped, lately, I even had to install a plugin that I only activate for this site and even like that, I didn't can't do it. Why not offer a light mode? In your article you say that everyone has switched to the dark for a while (and their dark themes, I manage to put up with it because it is sufficiently contrasted and organized) but all the software and the sites on which I am offered a dark theme AND a light theme. Why not you ?

I come to say to myself that I will just leave the platform and send to hell the next one who will make me come back, because I do not see any light at the end of the tunnel. It was an attempted joke but I am really very sad   :"- (

bad day for me

As much as the article jokes, we do want to provide a high contrast, sunlight readable (light) option here on Hackaday.io to increase accessibility for those that might need it.

Love your truck cockpit. I just purchased an 2013 T680 dash complete except for the wiring harness and also have a steering wheel and first class Kenworth air ride seat. Still looking for a drivers side door with trim panel and window switches. I have learned how to build a pc compatible shifter and how to connect dash switches to lights, cruise, brakes and a couple of other things. However would like to know if there is a way to simulate the gages. Will be running dash lights and cigarette lighter plugs from a 12 volt battery on a solar charger. Probably the stereo and amp also. Voltage gage wont be a problem nor the air gage. Would like to know your thoughts on how to make everything more real. Have thought of placing everything on a spring mounted foundation which would add a little to the real feel.  Will be mounting shift splitter in floor with a light tube full size shifter and boot. I am a master cabinet maker in addition to an retired truck driver so am hoping to replicate upper console and other parts to make it feel that more real. Look forward to your advice.

How does one add more than six images to a project gallery?

Thew gallery pulls photos from logs automatically, the other place they can be uploaded is the files section, they should then also appear in the gallery.

Can anyone tell me if a Thrust master joy stick can be reprogrammed to do other things?

You could also try asking this question on the Stack https://hackaday.io/stack

Not sure if you intend to modify the existing onboard mcu to make it do your bidding, but you can definitely hot-wire into the individual sensors and compute their function on an Arduino, I would imagine.

I've just soldered up a z80 mbc, powered it up, I have Io_op led on and the IOS and HALT leds flashing is this correct?

You may get some replies here but you could also try asking in the Stack https://hackaday.io/stack

The "Read More" tag that's offered in the editor for project details does not seem to work. It just shows up as "---------- more ----------" in the final text, but nothing actually gets truncated after it. See for example: https://hackaday.io/project/177317-tuning-fork-clock

Thanks

who here wants to build a UFO and be a trillionaire?

This is a great question for the Stack, be sure to use the new Stack labels and set the type to 'Ask' a question!

Notifications don't seem to be working, I get the "Something went wrong." error message in Chrome, Opera and Edge when I click to display them.

I will PM you.

Having the same problem here

I don't know if it's the same problem but the red dot sometimes reappears even though I have read the notification previously. Also I think I'm not getting some notifications but I can't be sure, and am not fussed about that.

I will like to add my project Jellybean3d printed car to the list of electric vehicles automotive hacks.
How can I do so?

Write a DM to the list owner

Ah, OK I understand how it works now. Thank you @Arsenijs 

happy to help! =)

My project uses cropped screenshots of lists to quickly show the user what's available.

I can (locally) resize any image and place it in a canvas of any size and any aspect ratio, but what I *can't* do is get the image to display within the cropped box on the HAD site. I've spent hours. literally, trying to get the all four edges of my image to show on your site properly.

What magic cropping algorithm does your site use to display these images, and what aspect ratio should I use be to display everything in an image?

(Note that 1:1 aspect ratio clips the bottom of the image.)

https://hackaday.io/project/177652-arduino-libraries-and-test-programs

Peter I have a new standardized ratio coming in an update that is closer to a 4:3 aspect ratio and will be easier to get your images to fit without cropping.

Unfortunately right now the only thing I could recommend is to add more top/bottom padding so that when there is cropping it doesn't hide anything important.

If you private message me I can try to keep you updated on progress.

See the similar project images at the bottom of this project https://hackaday.io/project/160804-lzrtag-flexible-diy-lasertag

I can't get C code (Arduino) to be properly color coded for easier reading and understanding of snippets in my projects log. Examples here https://hackaday.io/project/175605-classic-car-intermittent-wiper-motor-controller/log/185619-software-arduino-code and here https://hackaday.io/project/159415-flip-dot-display-diy-controller/log/152151-it-glows-b

Let me check and see if why it isn't highlighting

Thanks!

I can confirm that code highlighting doesn't work in any language. Everything is a dull shade. Unfortunately I can't point you yet to my page that exhibits the problem because it's still a draft and not public.

Should be back to the way it was.

This will be corrected soon, I'll post here when it's live.

It looks like highlighting is back to normal.

Hi      I would like to contact user:   ' jack'     from Sydney Australia, re his work with the Texas Instruments TMS1000, and the dumping process. Catch me on swchuck at gmail dot com  Thanks

hello

I'm not willing to install a malware browser extension as this project requires in order to follow it. I'm disappointed that Hackaday is allowing this project to fish people into installing this extension just to follow this project.

Hi Glen, what project are you talking about please?

I'm sorry, I thought I was putting that comment in a place where it would link to that project. "SONOFF - ESP8266 update firmware with Arduino IDE" is the project. If you click the link in the description it takes you to the Chrome Store where you have to install a sketchy extension before you can proceed.

Browser extensions are not a requirement in order to follow a project. Let us know which project this is and we can review it.

It looks like the links (domain) on the project were hijacked and forward to alternate addresses now.

Do me a favor and don't relink those old URLs, I imagine they are not what the original poster linked. It looks like he lost his domain and the new owner is forwarding them to some suspect places.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do anything wrong. I was trying to provide what was asked for so it could be reviewed.

Don't be sorry, thanks for bringing this to our attention! 

Thanks so much for taking care of this. I'm extremely happy to know that this ended up being what it was. I didn't really expect that from this site. :)

Sounds sketchy and I can't seem to find it either. If you can still find it, maybe post the number from the link instead, like it is the 37 for this project. Otherwise there should be a report link on the bottom left menu. Click that so a moderator can have a look. https://hackaday.io/project/37-feedback-hackadayio/

Hey Dave. Take a look above. Richard took care of this and this project is not here anymore due to the link beig hijacked.

I’m not seeing any views for a project I posted a couple of days ago: https://hackaday.io/project/177289-think-a-tron-mini. 

Looks like they've updated

Yup. I guess I jumped the gun. Sorry.

Views have definitely stalled before, but should be updated daily, if you ever see it isn't just let me know.
