on Android Chrome the search box in the menu doesn't work (keyboard - swiftkey - closes on tapping the search box) 

And the request desktop site doesn't work (nothing more annoying than being forced to a mobile view when you have a device and browser perfectly capable of showing the a full website) 

Hey, which version of chrome/android are you using? It seems to be working for me. Thanks!

Hey thanks it seems to be working again for me too!

I like the changes to UI as well as project storage. And that's it, just thank you :-)

By the way, how are going to prevent users - especially those with bogus accounts - to upload music, movies and warez? 1GB is huge storage, most of my projects would be happy with 1MB for zip with source files - those are vital for project - while photos or movies (not that important as source files) can be on flickr/google/youtube/vimeo whatever.

I second the changes to the UI and project storage. Well done!

Glad you like the updates! We'd have to ask @Ivan Lazarevic about what safeguards are in place to stop bogus users from misusing the features. 

we'll deal with bogus users same way as we did when they misused other features :)

Hello!

The floaty bar thing is amazing. Thank you.

Glad you like it :)

Two issues noticed a few minutes ago: the search box isn't working, and profile project lists display "0" under skulls (which still seem to show up under project pages).

Thanks Zack! I think we got this all fixed up, but if you see anything else acting strange, give a shout

Someone broke something: (probably last few hours)

I am on chrome under win7 and myfeed is the one that is broken (so far).  Most of the notification to email options are off.

Thanks!  Should be fixed in a couple minutes.

Fixed.  Thanks.

Amar - search is still down

search is fixed

Thanks for your quick work on this and the search Amar - you rock! :)

I believe that people should identify with real data and photo researcher

Autoredirection to feed after sign in kills fluid surfing experience.

When reading the blog (as a side note, hackaday.com front page is useless), I oftentimes click on a link leading to a project or an article or something. When the links go to hackaday.io, I do want to sign in unless I'm already signed in. Now, I am automatically redirected AWAY from what I was supposedly wanting to read to the feed page. This hurts my ears and kills Bambi. Also, I have to close the tab, hunt the link and reclick it again to find whatever it was that I was wanting to read.

So, make the sign in process not update pages. This is 2015 and the sign in does not need a full page reload. Nothing needs a full page reload. Much less does it need page redirection or getting the user away from whatever they were reading.

The feed page itself is okay-ish when I actually _do_ want to read it. I'd like to keep the feature. Its clumsiness is another separate issue.

Hey Teemu, can you give the steps where you are not getting redirected to the original content? Also, your browser/OS setup?

When I try, I am not getting redirected to the feed, but to the correct destination. 

Cheers.

Getting spam in my private message box.  Where is that "report inappropriate content" button in the new layout?  So far there are still no way to delete the unwanted message threads that clutter up my message screen.

I am using chrome browser on win 7.
I reported the user on his profile page.  Seems like this is a bit non-intuitive.  Also encountered error in the reporting function with nothing but an error number.  Probably because I tried to copy/paste part of the message to the report from the guilty party.

Not sure if is the same subject, but I'm receiving spam into personal messages from https://hackaday.io/endurancerobot I reported him, but no change for now.

that user has been deleted

FYI - this spammer has set up 3 accounts which we have blocked each time. Hopefully, they will get board soon. Endurance, Endurance Robot, and Endurance Robots. Just report them from their profile page if you see any more crop up. Thanks.

Hello KC, at the moment the best way is to report on their profile as you did. Their account will then be automatically hidden/frozen until we've looked into it. There is no way to report from the PM right now. 

Unfortunately, Endurance keeps on making new accounts. I blocked another one today. 

I'd like the ability to embed Vines into project updates, they are quite useful for showing off particular additions

I've added it to the wishlist. Thanks!

Thanks!

Second point - could we get some text color options? Would be cool to get red/yellow/green/blue for highlighting status of stuff. It would be totally alright if they were flattened a bit to match the color scheme. 

Hey Dave. Points noted. Thanks. 

cool, thanks :)

Is it possible to move the components list to the left side? Or is it too big? I think it's a valid point made in a totally unrelated blog comment http://hackaday.com/2015/11/28/the-internet-of-reflow-ovens/#comments

Tempted to drop the component list in my projects in favour of just a link to the BOM.csv on my github.  Github renders the right formatting, include refdes, footprints fields in a readable form without wasting space and automatically kept up to date.  It is a user editable document, so I have full control and can even add datasheet/mail ordering SKU etc.  For large BOM, that's the only sane option.

Here is what it looks like: https://github.com/FPGA-Computer/1x1/blob/master/Xmas/xmas_tree_proto_ListByValues.csv

It is generated by bom-ex ulp in eagle.

This is indeed helpful, but there are also parts that you wouldn't add to your eagle pcb. My comment was about styling, not usefulness ;)

"user editable document" for "parts that you wouldn't add to your eagle pcb". Yes it is a pain.

The BOM in HaD is not going to be user configurable nor going to be added in any time soon like all other feedbacks.  So either wait 6 months or forever or bypass it entirely. url will take up less space.

Some of those numbers are part of the "on boarding" process for new members. They don't show up in the feed because they didn't actually pressed a button. At least that's what I have heard.

Uh, how does it work? I noticed it too, but was too lazy to actually compare my feed with followers list. Having more than 1k followers in almost two years or so would mean more than one follower per day average increase and this is definitely not the frequency observed in my feed.

I've suggested a compact mode to the devs. 

Here's something unintuitive: those ribbons over a project's icon can show whether you've skulled/followed it. However, clicking those icons doesn't give a skull or a follow, but instead links to the project. Could you make the ribbon buttons perform the action they represent?

I'll put a ticket in. :)

Thanks!

Hi , @Jasmine what about highlighters for AVR and PIC assembly? 

Hey Danjovic, I'm afraid I'm not sure. You'd probably have better luck asking this question over on hackaday.io/stack

Thanks, did it : https://hackaday.io/page/1371-highlighters-for-assembly

Do you mean on the text editor for Hackaday.io or something else?

So I bumped into a small conversation at the superconference and it was a few people discussing that they'd love to build more stuff but they didn't know what to build. I wonder how much interest there would be in a section or project tag for ideas that hackaday members have but don't have the time/inclination/skill-set to do it themselves?

I do this in my Pages section, but I agree that a dedicated spot would be ideal.

I just saw that project logs now show the complete date and time they were created on instead of the previous x days/months ago. Thanks for adding/changing that :)

But I think some of the requested changes and additions might go unrecognized. So the question is: Is there a change log somewhere that one could check out instead of stumbling upon the changes?

If not, I think this page might be a good place but I get that having the comments as far up on the page as possible is also desirable. I'd suggest to 'hide' them in the details section by having it say change-log followed by the read more tag at the beginning, that shouldn't take up too much more space.

I just noticed the comment/log time stamps! Super great ya'll. 

Glad you like it :)

@Jasmine - for better mobile integration, could the timestamps appear 'onclick' instead as a tooltip?

When did you implement the save as draft feature for project logs?

It just went live yesterday.

Thanks for the reply @Jasmine, but what do you and the devs think about the changelog? 

Hey Stefan, they currently post info about large changes in the feed page. We also sometimes do updates to #Hackaday.io Project. I'll add things when I'm notified. 

Thanks for this info, I sometimes see them relying to feature requests here as well. I just thought a central place to look up all features would have been useful.

I've been getting "aw snap" messages from Chrome about 50% of the time for the last couple of weeks. (These are put up by Chrome when a page has some sort of processing error.)

I've sent feedback a couple of times, but this goes to Google and not Hackaday. I think it's a problem with the .io system, and not anything specific to Chrome.

Is this of interest? Is there some dataset or something that would be of interest to your developers to try to find this?

(Using Chrome 46.0.2490.71 with Adblock Plus only.)

Hey Peter, thanks for letting us know. We'll look into it.

I've also been getting the aw snap messages although not 50% of the time. I'm using Chrome Version 46.0.2490.86 (64-bit) no adblock, Mac Yosemite

Hey @Peter Walsh and @Sophi Kravitz, @Amar Patel asked if you remember what pages were being viewed or what actions were being made when these errors occurred? Thanks!

Jasmine - I'll contact Amar directly through the .IO chat system. Thanks for hooking us up.

If you have new bugs, please still post them here. Cheers. 

Suggestion: Add a summary of recent changes to a project with time stamps under the stats .e.g.
Oct 10, 2015: Project log (link) added
Oct 07, 2015: Project Detail edited (link)

     :

This makes life a bit easier to spot the new changes when you are revisiting someone's project.

Thanks. I've put it on the wishlist.
