The Z80-MBC3 is a DESIGN, an upgraded version with similar characteristics as the other single board computers, including the predecessor : the Z80-MBC2 which has been on Hackaday for more than four years. So there is no argument to exclude an upgraded and modified DESIGN from another user.

As the Z80-MBC2 which also an advertorial for the kits that Just4Fun sells and posted links here on Hackday. He describes it here, on Facebook, on Github, and various other places like : https://shop.mcjohn.it

The italian shop is not mine, nor one from Just4Fun himself. But the Z80-MBC2 ( the older version ) is a commercial product, as any other "kit" is a bundle of components offered for sale with which the buyer can finish it to a usable device. This publication is INFORMATION about the updated and revised design of the older design. Therefore it has INFORMATIVE value to people who are interested in building devices with kits.

Lutetium thinks that there is a principle difference between the Z80-MBC2 and the Z80-MBC3 . There isn't. The latter is simply an updated and enhanced version of the older (MBC2) one.

Which link are you complaining about and is the one that you are rejecting ? I don't see any links in the latest version of my Z80-MBC3 project here. So what do you mean with "link dumpung". Hackaday invites to add a whole range of links, but I did not use these.

I just checked the 'hackerspaces map' (/hackerspaces) here for spaces near Seattle and it seems like half the spaces listed are only user accounts and one points to a broken link. Is there a maintainer for the hackerspaces map?

We don't actively curate the hackerspaces, but they can be removed if reported, do you remember the broken link you found?

Hello Richard   thanks for the response.

I emailed back but no response there.

The visits are not me atleast 80% of them.

I do not visit my files online.  I edit them local and post them.

85 views ?  Also without visiting i can see how many views if im logged on.    from all my projects.

These are not me veiwing my files.

Alan 

I'm not saying you're wrong, there could be other reasons for the view count.

For example, here is one of my private projects, https://hackaday.io/project/190779 visiting says 'Page not found', but the server still sees the project path was visited.

But it's not other users/accounts viewing your content. They can't see it.

Hello 

I have a question about security of private projects.  Why do I have 85 views? also the views continually gain in amount slowly.  

Hey I see how that looks confusing. It's including your own and any authorized contributors visits across any of the private projects pages. I'll check to see if it can be adjusted to not do that, but we haven't filtered these historically.

I would be nice if some javascript or serverside image scaling was added, most of my pictures taken with my mobile phone (Pixel6pro) is larger then 5MB making it a real hassle to add images to my project, instead of just adding them from my pone I need to get them over to my computer and rescale them. This make me less eager to add pictures at all and I add less pictures, and that is a pity, I assume this would be true for most new phones.
I hope there would be some simple rescale/repack JPG library that you could easily embed in the upload image workflow. If so it would be really helpful. Thanks for the site.

Just install the imageshrink app which is free on your phone. It's also useful for scaling photos to send by other means.

Good tip, it improved the workflow quite a bit.

I just wanted to mention a few possible bugs and suggestions/complaints/man-yells-at-cloud.

Possible bugs: 

- Under some scenarios, copy and pasting images in to the project log editor will cause the image to appear twice, however once you save the image will appear only once. If you remove the apparent duplicate, no image will appear at all.

- Sometimes when pasting in text, it will paste to the beginning of the editor field, regardless of where my cursor is. Saving as a draft and reopening works around this issue.

- I haven't been able to get the ability to position an image to one side and have text wraparound work at all. It works in the editor preview but once I save that formatting doesn't work and is lost.

Suggestion:
- It seems to only be possible for comments to nest up to three deep. Someone commented on my project > I replied > they replied > no more replies are possible. I could reply to my own initial reply but then I think the order would get mixed up and I'm not sure they would get the notification.

- This isn't a terrific format for feedback since I can't search the other 4500 comments to see if I'm repeating any, or get any reassurance that my issues are real and not just something I'm doing wrong. Also, searching on a search engine doesn't really work because it will always show results of projects on hackaday.io, not anything meta *about* hackaday.io directly.

Is it possible to have a white background? I really struggle with the black

Indeed. For those of us with rather less than perfect vision, the low-contrast grey-on black text is very difficult to read. And in general, for older people with presybopia, screens emitting more light cause the pupil to close slightly, making it easier to focus.

I know that young people with great eyesight love their low-contrast, dark screens; but if you're going to have just one option, it should be one that works for us older folks as well.

(This difficulty in reading the site, BTW, is probably the primary reason I don't follow stuff here much, and why I don't post any of my projects here.)

The default styling for handling vimeo embeds does not work at all. Video in front of text and bad sizing levels of bad. In order to make https://hackaday.io/project/190248/log/219832-prototype-chassis-hilt-fitting work at all, I had to hack together embed code and edit via HTML; the WYSIWYG editor just was not enough to get the job done.

Thanks, I'll look around and see why Vimeo is behaving differently from YouTube.

....Wow, this is an interesting avenue for feedback. Searching requires google with `site:`, and even then, it's a challenge. Some ability to search for discussion threads that contain all keywords would be an improvement.

Great resource! I love the contest- a real stimulation for innovation.

Have you considered a science based one? I am planning on building an openflexure microscope with some pretty sophisticated upgrades. That is just one example. There is a growing movement to open source research/methods/instrumentation.. I can't imagine what people could come up with. 

HOW DO I EDIT A PROJECT I SEE NO EASY BUTTON?

Hi @dot_solutions - There is an 'Edit project' button on the top right of the project page. I've sent you a PM.

Hello - I just created a new project https://hackaday.io/project/191105-portable-radio-using-vacuum-tubes-radio-valves but if I search for it using the search box I can't find it! 

Is there a delay before a new project becomes "findable"?

Yes. If you have a look at this feedback thread, you will see this question has been asked numerous time. Refer to the answer from admin for further details.

Hi Florian, many thanks for the help. I searched for "admin" on this page and the only other mention I could find is a question from you on the 4th Feb. Anyway thanks for your help and I will keep checking every few days.

There is bug in the edit project form, where the Description field character limit of the save process is less than the limit in the html input box.

Also why are the image captions not shown in the gallery view ??

I am also having trouble uploading the last few files I need for my education challenge entry, did anyone figure out a workaround? I was able to add my main project photo when the contest started

We can't upload any files!  You may need to extend the deadline on the education challenge -- we have been unable to upload material.  

Sending you a private message.

I'm also unable to upload files - every file gives an "unsupported file type error"

I'll let you know when this is resolved, if it pertains to the Prize deadline just let me know.

Yes, it is for the prize deadline.  Bill and I are trying to upload the rest of the materials for the Amateur Radio Receiver project.  Thanks, Dean

I sent you a private message, if you can give it another go and let me know.

any recommended projects for hacking or hacking tool?

whats the best wifi deauther project for esp32&esp8266?also any good other projects? thanks

i need help ppl u are mine hope

I'm unable to upload .tar.gz files for Zeptoforth project; "unsupported file type" error occurs. Renamed to .tgz but didn't work. Verified it's a valid file, so why can't it be accepted? It was always accepted before.

Thanks, there is an intermittent issue with some file uploads we are working on.

Looks like somehow an item on the global feed by Yubil has turned most of the text afterwards into strikeout text. It indicates inadequate quoting of special characters, probably the <
