Hey jaromir.sukuba, thanks for the idea. When we improve the image handling, we'll work something out.
I use the Chrome extension Imagus, which provides a full-size image on hover. That could be a good workaround for you (and it works on lots of other sites too).
For some reason my account has disassociated my email, github and twitter and so it is starting a new account for each. I am wondering if I have lost my account. I am tlankford01. I am a hackaday prize quaterfinalist with the Solar Power Anti-poaching UAV. I was wanting to add documentation. Thank you
Hello tlankford01, unfortunately if you signed up with email, you have to login using that email and password. If you try to sign in with twitter or github, it will create a new account for each of those.
We're going to work out some kind of account merging, but for the time being, please sign in the way you signed up.
I finished up my EDC contest entry and tried to get a few page views to my project, but it doesn't seem that the page view counter is working. I put files for the project up on thingiverse this morning which link back to hackaday.io, but the project views has not increased in the past 2 weeks. My thingiverse thing has 427 views since this morning and I would assume that at least one person clicked through to hackaday.io... Also I've gotten 2 skulls in the time period that I had no new page views.

Hello Tim, we were trying out the pageviews feature, so at the moment it is manually updated intermittently. We hope to automate it soon.
imagine with me.... in the components section of a project build you have some script which automatically adds the prices of the components next to them. a total would be great too. i like to think you could get some revenue from dedicated suppliers for sending people their way. i know we all crave perfection but even as a rough price it'd be handy and probably an incentive for people to start a build. i just got all spastic for peter jansens tricorder, i would love one/a kit and in my mind something which helped a brother out in the planning department would be the push i needed to start getting excited.
We like the way you think. Keep sending us your ideas.
Would other people be up for a component pricing feature on hackaday.io?
I'd like it, even if it's just an estimate. Project creators would have to be able to fix pricing errors, though, maybe with just a manual price field that overrides the estimate.
How do I add many images in my project log or instructions section...
I have a lot of images and currently I have to upload one by one... so it is a very painfully slow process.
Am I missing something..?
Hello Zaid, no you are not missing anything. Apart from the 6 images you can put up when you create/edit your project, we don't have a gallery feature at the moment. Sorry about that. It's definately something we'd like to improve in the future.
oh man, am not asking for a gallery, just a feature where I can select many pics at the same time from the file upload dialog and the images just come on the post one by one...I have many pics of my tiny bot line follower project but I am very lazy to upload each separately...
- but maybe I will have to for now... :(
Project page links for network type Github won't work on my page. Setting the link as network "other" works fine. When network is set to "Github" the links simply won't show. There seems to be place holder of sort, but no visible link.
EDIT: btw admins, I have added the link to the github page twice, once as network type github, again as type 'other', so only one link is showing where there should be two. Just clarifying in case you overlooked it as it might look like it is working because there is a link to github. The link is set to network type github and isn't showing.
Hey TTN, When I go to your project I can see three links in total: two links with the github icon (first & fifth links)and one with the other/star icon (sixth link).
Hi, I was (and still am) seeing the same thing in Firefox but not in Chrome. Initially I though my Firefox installation was broken because it was also misbehaving in other ways at that time. But since other users still seem to experience this (recent comment on #Laser Cut Mini Mill) I think it may be linked to Firefox (35.0.1 on Windows in my case). Hope this helps
Just curious, what is the hacker list http://hackaday.io/hackers sorting algorithm, when "sort by influence" (default) is selected? It was something like rank = A*number_of_projects + B*number_of_followers before, where A and B are some constants. Somehow I don't understand the new sorting.
By the way, 3 months ago I reported nothing regarding my own projects (comments, skulls, followers) in my feed, though visible in global feed. Any news regarding this?
Hey jaromir,
The new ranking algorithm (still work-in-progress and will likely change couple more times before stable) is graph-based, pretty much along the lines of Google PageRank - recursively defined as a function of scores of people that follow given user, etc. We're working on a new iteration that incorporates (and puts more weight on) user's projects and related activity. Once we converge to a "stable" solution that we like - we'll publish all the implementation details.
Regarding the personal projects not showing up in "my feed" - we're looking at it and will queue up the fix for the next release.
That's interesting info, thanks.
Regarding the "my feed" issue, it's fixed right now. Thank you all for your support.
[question] [component list]
If I type "foo" in the first line of a component entry and press [tab], the second line fills with "Electronic Components / Misc. Electronic Components" and whatever I type goes after that. If I type "RTC" (referring to a real-time clock) in the first line, the second line fills with "Potentiometers, Trimmers, Variable Resistors / Potentiometers". What's going on here?
Hello PointyOintment, we try to suggest suitable descriptions, but depending on what you enter it doesn't always match. You can just edit it yourself.
How about a minor edit flag/mode for typo's and forgotten additions that don't generate feeds/triggers etc?
We're working on getting rid of the duplicate updates in the feed, but a minor edit flag is a good idea too.
We just added this feature. You can now edit away on logs and details and stop it from updating the feed.

Hi Aleksandar--this seems to still be an issue, view counts are stuck for long periods of time (at least, that's what it looks like). Is this still on the calendar for a fix?
Hey zakqwy,
Sorry about that. It's definitely on the calendar but got stuck in a queue for too long. Will try to push and see if we can get something out by the end of the month.
thanks!
No rush--glad it's still on your radar. By the way, I got an email notification that you'd replied to this comment, but when I clicked "check it out" I was taken to the first discussion page and had to click over a few times to get to page=4. Any way to make that happen automatically when someone clicks "check it out"? Some kind of comment permalink?
Yeah, just noticed that too :) It got broken after we added pagination to comments section. Filing a bug now. Should be resolved next week.

Just an idea:
When editing a project log, for example, I add a picture into it, I can scale it down by dragging the picure corner. That's great and I use this feature a lot in order to not overwhelm the reader by huge images.
It could be nice to have possibility to enlarge the picture again (some small icon in corner), or have it "clickable" when viewing the project log. By now, I can click right and select "view image" (in firefox), but it is not quite obvious for evaryone. The pictures in project header are better in this aspect, as they are clickable, leading to full size image.
