I think this is a bug: When I open the site on my phone (Nexus 4, using Chrome) everything is as expected in portrait but when I switch to landscape the header disappears. I was also able to reproduce this in Chrome on Windows by resizing the window and sizing the window to a small landscape format in device mode.
Thanks for letting us know. I'll put in a ticket.
Not a gripe, but I just wanted to say thanks for the awesome site and community. Glad to have stumbled across it!
When I click on my projects, for example, in lower right corner I can see number of views and and followers. I'm pretty sure it contained also number of skulls before, but now the information is missing. When I click on project and get into particular project page, I can see it there. On the other hand - lists display 4 kinds of information: views, followers, discussion posts as well as skulls.
Left: my projects ----- Right: robotics list
Is the skulls counter omission bug or feature?
Same here.
Comments and skulls were very useful, is it possible to put them back, please?
Now that two guys mentioned it, I can too. I want the skulls on my projects! :D
When inserting a link, could the "Open link in new tab" option be active by default ?
Sorry Yann. I don't think that's going to happen.
Wow, private projects are possible and you don't tell anyone?
I was invited to a private project and checked the edit page of a project of mine.
it's right below project status on 'add page' for me. They might use me for early beta testing though :D
I have it, too, so I don't think it's a beta testing thing.
On that note though, a change log would be nice.
It's not just you, I can't see it.
EDIT: I found it. Click on project, edit it and there you go, one of the options:
Still testing. Let us know if you run into any issues.
I discovered this too! It was super convenient to give me a chance to write some stuff and upload pics later before you noticed :) (I still need to upload pics for my Battlebot #2 project...)
A request : add the date and time at the beginning of each log, when we create it. It's a log, right ? So there must be a time stamp :-) The "relative, rounded" time indication is "OK" but it loses significance very fast. "wrote a month ago", yeah, what day ? When you have many things written "approximately" at the same time, you can't distinguish them...
We've made a note of this. Thanks for your feedback!
It could be an "insert current date" button, like the "insert video" or "insert picture" buttons in the editor :-)
thank you for suggestion. now we're showing relative time if it less than a week and real time otherwise. also, if you put cursor over time it will show relative/real time.
It's kind of impossible to link to https://hackaday.io/justind000 by his username, is there another way to do that? I tried 'justind000' and ids but that didn't work. Have a nice one :)
Unfortunately not at the moment. There is a ticket in requesting that people can be mentioned by their username rather than their screen name. Thanks!
Biggest problem is that there is at least one justin too many for the list ;) thanks
username vs screenname is a bit confusing... (and might add even *more* people to the list, as dave mentions, below). What about user-number as an option, since that shows up on links? E.G hovering over your [user/screen]-name linked above shows: hacker/349... so @349 would be uber-clear when there's a huge list of similar names. (And thanks, y'all for changing the # method to handle both options for projects! Awesome!)
Bug:
Clicked this project https://hackaday.io/project/581-tiny-robot-family, clicked the 'tiny robots projects' list, got 404.
Hello jacksonliam, seems to be working now. Cheers!
Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I'm still getting 404 here, Android Chrome.
Can you try now? It was set to private. Now it is public.

There currently is #The Square Inch Project running where you can win some OSHpark/HaDstore credits with a pcb design that fit's into a square inch.
How about having a project(s) of the month? A list of projects with the most skulls/follows for that month. Might be a good way of finding trending projects. Maybe a T-shirt or something for the top projects.
It'd also be nice to have skulls based on categories i.e. Creativity, Documentation, etc.
This thought has crossed our minds and is on the wishlist, but where to put it? Maybe highlighted on the projects page?
We do have weekly featured projects which are the 2 that appear on the right-hand side of the feed page and on the blog homepage. Those are picked manually.
The trending projects on the blog homepage http://hackaday.com are picked algorithmically.
I'll feedback to the team. Thanks form bringing this up.
It would be nice to have some more automated way of adding projects to lists -- maybe a dropdown on the project page similar to the one for adding to contests. Of course the list's owner could still be asked for approval (although it would also be nice to be able to have multiple moderators, that would all get a notification and any of them could approve), similar to how joining projects works.
Hey Radomir, we have a ticket for this. I've made note of your support for this feature. Cheers.
Is there some way to flag abuse? I seem to have someone testing out their markov chain spambot on a thread I'm on, so I get an email alert every time too... User is Ptfourstargoldenlion.
Hey Howard, how annoying! I've blocked Ptfourstargoldenlion.
If anyone else causes a nuisance you can go to their profile and use the 'report as inappropriate' link. These links also appear on project pages and next to comments. We get the reports and work out what action should be taken.
I think the mentioning lists could be vastly improved. I suggest you make two major changes:
1. (applies to chats only) For username mentions, people that are in the group you're chatting with should be shown at the top of the list. Not only does this make sense, but it means you can be shown results immediately—without waiting for HTTP requests to finish!
2. For project mentions, prioritize projects that either belong to you or are followed/skulled by you.
I have an additional idea for number one - a split screen where you can select the persons and have an open yet sorted conversation - this way you can talk about something and everyone can listen in, while seeing every conversation. A list of topics could be selectable for the split screen and you could talk to them via an 'at' topic tag or in the split screen.
Hey Alpha_ninja, these are on the todo list. Dave, I think I know what you mean and I've put it on the wish list. Thanks!
Sometimes while you are editing the cursor position goes back to the beginning of the edit field.
Do you use a browser plugin to spell check? I sometimes use grammarly and the first time I make a spelling mistake the cursor jumps to the beginning.
Yes, The spell check is activated in my browser. I'll try to disable it on the next time. Thank you.
I've put in a ticket anyway. It would be nice if that didn't happen.
Yeah.. that was the spell check. I am typing everything now without it then I turn in on to see if I got something mispelled. Well, sometimes, lol!!
Hmm, changing something in the code block doesn't update the styling.
Is that on all page types, or particular ones? Thanks!
I've had this issue too. I've found that using the code insertion button again fixes this.
Im very new to FPGA and the projects here may very well help me in my learning.
Hi Terry, if you have any questions about FPGA, you can ask them over on https://hackaday.io/stack. Good luck with the learning!
Thanks for letting us know. It's actually the views counter in general. We're working on it.
I'd like to have a "my pages" button on the menu, additionally to the "my projects" and "my profile". That would be awesome :)
Hey Dave, that makes sense. I'll see what we can do.
cool :) it might not be that relevant for others though, so I'll understand if it won't happen.
