I have created a project that went to limbo! I can not edit, the [Edit Project] link does not appear. Ironically the project is named #Oh Cheat!

Did you already try logging out and back in?

Yeah. Did not work unfortunately. Tried also to log in from another browser. The same happens. The project is stucked.

Did you try turning it off and then turning it back on? ;)

I have created the project again and now it is working. Thanks

haha

Just created another project with the same name. Now I have literally a ghost project.

I've hidden the ghost project. 

Thanks! Can't you delete it? 

@Jasmine

I see both projects on the "projects" page... I hope you can solve this :-)

Your email link are broken - 

The links look like this - http://hackaday.com/2016/01/20/a-linear-time-sorting-algorithm-for-fpgas#comment-2891816

My email client strips the anchor and everything after like this - http://hackaday.com/2016/01/20/a-linear-time-sorting-algorithm-for-fpgas

So when the page opens - it opens at the top and I don't know which comment is new.

This happening because the original link is not technically a correct URL. 

It should be - http://hackaday.com/2016/01/20/a-linear-time-sorting-algorithm-for-fpgas/#comment-2891816

with a "/" before the "#" so that the URI contains a correct URL. ie URL must end in "/"

I sent an invite for somebody to help contributing to one of my projects, that person did not accept it or do anything with the invite. It seems currently there is no way to cancel the invite so the status stays permanently as "Invite sent". However for people who have officially been added as contributors to a project can be removed. Can we have a "Cancel invite" button as well?

Hey, I've put in a request for this. It is also useful when you've accidentally invited the wrong person. Thanks!

I reported earlier that while editing a blog post, pressing the "delete" key anywhere within the text will remove image formatting (size, float left/right/center) throughout the post.

I've now discovered that the image formatting is removed in my edit session, but is retained when the blog entry is posted. This means that I cannot see the effect of a resize or float while editing, I must publish the update to see if the arrangement looks OK.

This is wildly non-WYSIWYG, and makes editing a blog entry a massive time sink.

To reproduce, make a blog entry with text and images. Make the images smaller, then place the cursor anywhere within the text and press the delete key. The images will pop back to their original sizes.

Publish the blog, and you'll see that the images are resized - even though the editing session has lost the formatting.

This bug is aggravating to those of us who use a lot of imagery, please fix this soon as it is currently preventing me from making blog entries.

I've put in another ticket for this. 

It is really, really annoying that the reply system is limited to two levels. What is the point of even having nested replies then? I often find that interesting discussions are started in the comment feeds, and more levels of comments are really needed.

+1 for reddit style comment anarchy!

Similarly-relatedly: So often I see replies to comments placed in a new comment section... Can blame it on the user, but it's *really really* common, and followup-replies-to-misplaced-replies-on-comments seem few and far-between, which seems to mean a lot of people are given replies but never getting 'em...

Agreed, a few more levels would be very handy. Several times now I have accidentally up/down voted a comment when I was actually trying to reply to it.

I have found that posting project logs can be demoralizing if nobody comments directly on the log.  A nice way to improve the experience would be to show the number of views on a project log so at least you can see that someone has given it a glance.  Sometimes (and I know I'm not alone) I work hard on a nice project log and if nobody comments, I am left wondering if anyone even looked at it.  But I know people do look at them, since I read logs all the time without commenting.  At any rate, that's my argument for adding a "views" statistic to the project logs.

I think this can be fixed with "skulls" as likes for stuff... it's the easiest way to show appreciation. Especially when it can be given on the feed as well.

Sounds like a plan. I've put in a ticket.

What is the RSS / Atom / whatever url for the global feed? Sorry if this is answered somewhere already, but I couldn't find it. Thanks!

https://hackaday.io/rss/globalFeed

Thank you, Ivan!

It would be awesome to have a "read all logs" button on top of the logs, when using the navigation bar to jump to the logs.

Hi, there's a minor bug in the project-join-request process. If the project was submitted for the Hackaday Prize 2015, the applicant is presented the real name/location/email form, after sending the request the applicant will be informed, that it's still x months and y days until a winner is announced. The latter is definitely not intended :)

Thanks for letting us know!

I often used to look at projects that others follow and then I myself followed many of them. Looking at what others with a similar interest followed was a good way of finding projects that interested me. 

Now the pictures have such an obscure aspect ratio that nothing at all can be determined by the picture itself so I gave up on this source of media for me to follow. 

This site has a history with aspect ratios. The *common* aspect ratios are common for a reason. I used to be quite active here and I have a number of projects - many unfinished or not updated because I lost interest with the image editing I need to do so that my images would fit in with the way this site crops images into odd aspect ratios. After all that effort you changed the crop/aspect ratios and all my effort was destroyed. Consequently all of my projects - many of interest to others with followers - have been left for dead. 

I can understand that you need to beautify the main / blog site and you *play* with that often *but* the member area needs to be *functional* and easy to use or others will (just as I have) give up on contributing here. 

You need to settle on an aspect ratio that people are familiar with and leave it alone. You also need some decent image editing for contributors. Since you have introduced 1GB of storage for members then there is no excuse for not having an image editor that will take very large imaged from camera and crop and scale them for the site or at the very least have some cropping frames that represent the aspect ratios used on this site. If you get this right then I might even update my projects. 

I'm not trying to be critical for the sake of being critical, this it my experiences here and why I gave up. I hope this may be useful to you.

Hello Hacker404, sorry for the frustration. Are you referring to the aspect ratio on the feed? The project listing page and how your images appear on your project hasn't changed recently. Yes, image editing would be great, it's on our todo list. 

I've passed this comment on to the team. We are experimenting and working out ways to improve so your feedback is very useful to us. Thanks for taking the time to let us know. 

"Projects I Like & Follow" on a user profile page. I haven't seen the feed for ages. I only get here by following links from HAD blog. 

My two Feature Requests are:

1. Ability to re-order external links (at the moment the only option is to remove/add to manage the order)

2. Ability to easily embed vimeo/youtube/etc. videos or media (flickr slideshow/etc)

Hello George, we have a ticket in for the first one. The second one you should be able to do in details, project logs, pages and team messaging. Let me know more info (browser, os, page) if you are unable to add, and we'll look into it. Project descriptions are plain text, so you can't add them there. Thanks!

There are two levels of replies.

This might sound silly, but is there a way of me going back to the old feed layout?  In the past, that could be done easily.

Sorry, it's been rolled out to everyone now. 

me gustaria que hubiera un tutorial paso a paso para poder haci recrear el proyecto pues la informacion es algo deficiente con respecto a su construccion , gracias espero su  ayuda y respuesta

Hello! I'll put one together, but in the meantime:

You can create a project by going to https://hackaday.io/project/add, fill out the description, add tags, photos, and team members; then click 'publish'. 

Then add project logs, components, instructions, and files from the project page. 

If you add an image in the project logs, it will automatically be added to the gallery. 

Good luck!

I would like to connect Projects with a Hackerspace

Most of my projects are somehow connected to my hackerspace and would never be created if not for the purpose of reconstructing our spacestation - so it would be cool to also connect these projects to the hackerspace page and list them there with all the other projects of the other members of c-base

Hey, yes this is a great idea. The team has been working on the project pages recently, but I'm sure they'll turn their attention to the hackerspaces section of the site at some point. Thanks for letting us know you want this. 

Am I just not looking in the right place, or is it not possible to remove Stack updates from my feed? As it is now the feed is completely useless to me because it is filled with Stack updates, instead of just updates from projects I actually follow.

Hey Javl, because the few projects you follow haven't been updating very recently, the stack is showing a higher proportion of the time. If you follow a few more active projects (https://hackaday.io/projects/sort/updated) or people then it wouldn't be so noticeable. There are no filters on the feed at the moment. Thanks. 

Major nitpicking here: in the file "style.css" for hackaday.io you have defined "margin-bottom: 2em" attribute for numbered lists. Both ".section .buildlogs-list li" and ".section ol li" affect them, but *only on the main project page* (here's an example: https://hackaday.io/project/6938-internet-of-things-power-meter, log named "Another log").

It gives a margin of 2em after every numbered list item and frankly it doesn't look good... Maybe you needed it somewhere else and this is collateral damage? This does not appear on the log page itself, so I assume it's an error.

I've let the devs know. Thanks!

The "delete" key seems to remove image formatting tags everywhere in the post. This is really annoying, beyond the usual annoyingness of image formatting.

To reproduce, make a blog entry with some text and images. Resize the images and set one to float left and the other to float right. Place the cursor anywhere in the blog - even within the text - and press the delete key. The image formatting and sizing is deleted. Even when the cursor nowhere near the image insert point.

I really wish HAD had implemented one of the various standards, instead of rolling their own system. It's really difficult to interleave text and images in any sane manner, and viewing text on a differently-sized monitor makes my careful formatting look like crap.

The DocuWiki standard, or the MarkDown standard, or even html tags have specific renderings that can be relied upon, and you could have imported an open-source rendering library for any of these standards and saved yourself months of work, debugging, and bug response.

I've noticed this issue too. I've put in a ticket for the Devs to looks at. Thanks. 

I'd love to see one more button except "Follow project" and "Skull project" - something like "Look at it later", populating my own "Look at it" list. Something like "Watch later" on youtube.

Maybe this has been suggested before, but I was thinking about the ongoing and completed project statuses you can select in a project. For me the options are too limited. I have stuff lying around which I don't work on any more, but I might pick it up one day to continue working on it. Some of the stuff could have it's own detailed project page, but making a project page for it and listing it as completed feels a bit harsh, while ongoing doesn't quite cover it either.

Also I rarely consider stuff complete, there are always more ideas and plans than time. So I was thinking about a more options for project statuses, maybe you'll like them. How about:

Ongoing, Completed, Shelved, Boxed and Scrapped ?

Hey Martijn, I've put it on the wishlist, but for the time being you can add your own labels as tags. Cheers!

Thanks
