Hey Dave,
We're working on the ability to separately disable notifications for group conversation. It should be live next week.
A few things, that may have already been covered.
I can't read messages on my phone web browser (chrome) everything overlaps. Not sure if this is a layout issue, or just my phone.
I recently noticed that full resolution images are used and then scaled in browser. I usually have a poor connection, so some pages are taking a while to load. Can you scale on the server side (if only to one set resolution)?
Lastly, i use the global feed, and noticed a lot of spam accounts for meds, hotels and possibly non existent products, can you add a flag button?
Thanks H :)
There is a "report as inappropriate" link on the left bottom on most of the pages. Weird findings.
Bug: When I replace an image in a build log, the operation deletes the 1st character of the post text.
To reproduce: Make a build log with text and an inline image and save. Edit the build log. Select the image and press "delete" - the cursor deletes the image, jumps to the beginning of the text block, deletes the 1st character of text, then jumps back to where the image was.
(I sometimes edit my build log images locally and then go to replace the published one. Deleting the existing image prior to uploading the new one triggers the bug.)
hey, I just tried to post an update to my project from my iPhone, but I couldn't edit the first line because the buttons overflow onto the text area (plus wysiwyg editors just seem to break on iPhone) it just looks like a dIv with clear: both; would fix it, maybe!
Here's a picture: http://i.imgur.com/bAnNqwT.png
Hello Matt, thanks for letting us know and adding the image. It's very useful! I'll add a ticket.
no problem. Let me know when they get around to it and I'll check it out if you'd like.
How come the number of eyeballs shows up for certain projects, and not for the ones we put up? At least, for me anyway, I don't have that eyeball icon that I see other projects have, and I can't find how to activate it in the upper right corner of profile, project, updates, etc.
I mentioned this a few months ago; the views counter doesn't seem to update very frequently. The current iteration must be a month or so old.
I know there was a discussion about increasing the view update frequency--is this still going to happen?
Hey guys,
Sorry about that. This is still done offline in order to scrub fake views, multiple refreshes from the same user etc. We're working on a semi-realtime version, but it keeps dropping from the queue :) Hopefully should be in soon.
@David Nghiem - we show view counts only on projects that have been seen by more than 50 (unique) users. We have just run an update and all of your projects are in. This one https://hackaday.io/project/4716-control-things-with-your-muscles has 2.2k user views!
@Aleksandar Bradic - so does this mean 2.2k unique users have seen it? Do "nonmembers" count, too?
Hey Dave! Yep, that's unique "visitors," so it includes non-signed up users as well.
Thanks for the info! I guess view count is a bit more complicated than I thought.. :-)
hey @Aleksandar Bradic, when was the last time this was updated? My project has just less than 500 views, and it hasn't been updated in 3-4 weeks from what I remember.
The tab key should be ignored by the editor if control, alt, win, or command are held down.
Additionally, is is really necessary to have indentation in comments?
I've raised a ticket about the tab key. I've pm'd you about the indentation in comments. Thanks!
Images that exist both as a project image and as part of a project log should not show up separately in the gallery view.
Hey alpha_ninja, there are a few tweaks we need to make to how the gallery/project page images work together. We've got this noted, thanks for raising it. However, for the time being you can remove the duplicate from the project page images.
Search is down right now, anything I type comes up with a blank page
Thanks for letting us know. It should be resolved soon.
A few things that I thought that would be nice/helpful are the ability to insert a link between others on a project page, and the hackaday skull for one of the link markers (github/other/etc..), and when clicking on the followers link on a profile and sorting by newest, it would be cool if it sorted by the newest followers instead of the newest profiles.
I'm having trouble embedding image links into log updates. I only get the 'broken image' thumbnail. The only wait for me to put images into the logs is by reducing file size below 2MB and uploading to hackaday. Using Chrome v41.
Hmm, we do have a 2MB upload limit, so there should have been an error message when you tried to upload something bigger. You didn't get one?
Sorry maybe I'm not being clear. The issue only happens when I try to insert the image as a link, like from imgur. It works fine by uploading the images, but I have to go through to process of reducing file size below 2MB. It would be nice to be able to use image hosting websites and link images instead.
I just posted a test log to my project so you can see my issue. http://hackaday.io/project/3706-openbarbell It's the newest log.
Thanks for clarifying and for the example.
I just tried from imgur and am getting the same broken image, but if I just use a regular image it seems to work ok. tbh, I don't know if we support image links from imgur. I'll check.
What do you mean by regular image? And any update on using image hosting websites?
Hello,
In the example you sent the url for the image is http://imgur.com/gallery/kJpHkXO
If it ends with .jpg, .gif, or .png, it should embed e.g.
So you should be able to use any hosted images as long as they have an image file suffix.
Will we be able to put links in the description in the same way we can in the details section?
As it is, we can put links in both places, but in the description we can't link a word. It would save me from putting citations in the bottom like this. [1]
[1[ http://example..
Hey TTN, the description is meant to be short and plain text. This is because it could potentially be used when shared on social media, or pulled out on the search results page. So no, we are not intending to add this link text or editor capability to the description. Hope that explains a little.
I think that when I clicked on my PM button it made the number of new items in the feed disappear. I will pay better attention next time.
That is what happened. Also if I am on the PM page and receive a message everything works properly, but if I click off of the page the new message counter counts the message that I received while on the page.
Hey jlbrian, we are still fine tuning the new messaging. We'll use this feedback when we make more improvements. Thanks!
Thank you for adding an edit function on the CERN contest comments! After realizing I could get a higher resolution image I was able to refine my comments after the fact and spare myself later embarasment.
Does nothing happen if you click on the Jolly Wrencher/home button from this page? If you are logged in, the home button takes you to your feed.
Nope. Firefox 37.0 on OS X 10.10.2
Edit: Looked around a little bit. Looks like you require google analytics to remember the action before you actually go home. Personally, I think that's absolutely ridiculous.
Duly noted. I'll let the boffins know about the bug.
If anyone else is noticing this, please let me know with your browser/os. Thanks!
This feature really annoys me. I like to browse around and see what others are doing on their projects but I can't go to the public home page as it redirects me to 'myfeed'. I have to then log out so that I can open the home page and then login again to see 'myfeed'.
I am sure that most people (like myself) would like to spend more time browsing the io site than just updating projects.
To me it makes more sense to have a 'myfeed' link on the home page. I am sure regular users would find it easy to bookmark 'myfeed' if they wanted.
I don't understand the logic of having to log out to see a public page.
Jasmine, the post above was a reply to -
"Does nothing happen if you click on the Jolly Wrencher/home button from
this page? If you are logged in, the home button takes you to your
feed."
But for some reason the post ended up being a reply to a different post.
Would've been great if the old message board would be accessable for cellphones - I can't see anything and it was my single "working" communication device :(
When clicking the feed next page button, I get to the next page but it scrolls way down.
Thanks Dave. We are working on getting it to work on mobile. We just wanted to get something out to try first.
you seem to have a responsive css design, "just" hide the new message button when the design is small and when its big hide the old message board button. This way the best of both worlds is out there - https://www.dropbox.com/s/iosgnztmbwi3lii/Screenshot_2015-04-03-17-30-54.png?dl=0
@davedarko, you seem to be treading on my "realm of inaccessibility" ;)
Desktop, here... but with flakey internet... I wouldn't mind if the new (private) message-system/chat was optional... could optionally choose to use the old system, instead (yeah, I realize I'd have to click the "refresh" button, but I don't mind).
I dig the concept and the realtimeishness of the new system, but I've been spending quite a bit of time (as in *minutes*) with a little spinning wheel and no messages, and new messages tend to show up several minutes (sometimes hours) after they were sent.
retro.hackaday.io :) before the messages had an email feeling. Now they have an instant message feeling.
The address of the local Hackerspace has changed. Is someone specific responsible for the entry or can it only be changed by the admin? Don't want to mess around with the database.
The hackerspace admin has to update the details. Have you tried to message the crew?
I don't know who is responsible for the entry.
I'll tell them the next time I see the guys.
haha, just saw that you can click it and then get the details with the responsible person. I know the guy and will drop him a message.

It's probably just my flakey 'net connection, but often I see most of a project/profile page and want to click the "Follow" button (and many other buttons as well, including "upvote"), and it sends me to a 404 page... It seems I have to sit and wait for it to load *everything* on the page, including quite a bit that isn't even visible (and plausibly even all the potentially-quite-large images?) before clicking a simple link!
All of these buttons aren't links but some Javascript magic with tokens and stuff so that nobody can cronjob the skullbuttons and no page reload will be initiated when clicked - same goes with comments. Before the cdn servers this took even longer, but I guess there is still some optimization possible.
ah! Thanks for the explanation. The optimization might be best-done on the PEBKAC side of things :)
hehe, had to google PEBKAC :) but I guess it's really just the slow connection :) it's sometimes tough on mobiles, too.
Hah, I wondered if you'd have to google PEBKAC and googled it myself just to see what you'd get... Except I accidentally googled PEBCAK (C/K reversed) first and was surprised it came up with the same basic definition but a little bit funnier. :)
I can't update my profile. It gives me this message:
Link title in External Links section can't be blank.
I've removed the offending link on the profile page but it won't update still.
Ah I got it working. The thing throwing me off is that it put a red box around the wrong link. It was different one that had a blank name for the link.
Hmm, that's odd. I'll put in a ticket for someone to take a look. Thanks for letting us know.
Yay, a "show update in feed" button - a thought on that: when adding a log it should default to checked, but when editing, it should default to unchecked. Also good to see the "view full size" feature in the gallery!
That's a good idea for the feed update, I'll put in a request. I'm really happy with "view full size" for gallery. It makes it so much easier for me to grab images for social media.
Is it possible.......?
I just loaded this page (Feedback) and it only listed comments that were 3 months old and more (definitely not a caching problem, I've cleared my cache *tons* of times in the last three months, and I've definitely looked at and even commented here many times in the past three months!) Then I loaded it a second time, and it seems more current... latest comment is 3 days ago... but I'm almost certain my Feed led me here for comments more recent than that that don't seem to be showing up?
Does it load the comments separately or something?
We did a release yesterday, so maybe the page was loaded while that was happening? Blecky had the last comment, with my reply a couple of days ago.

Would be cool to have something like "email notification off" for group conversations - may also be global and not for each separately.
