Apologies there is a max limit to details, especially code blocks can eat it up fast.
I would really recommend taking advantage of Logs. For example in details you could have a list of links (an index) to specific logs (your details sections).
* * WHY A PIC? * *
* * HARDWARE OVERVIEW * *
* * SOFTWARE OVERVIEW * *
etc

I'm so sorry I missed it!! I am really disappointed :(Got the email late and then got the time zone...) doh! Hope it went okay!!
Not every use of the pound sign is a hashtag to a project or whatever, not every at-symbol usage is to another user.
Could the Chat/PM Editor PLEASE be less persistent in insisting otherwise? It drives me NUTS. I just had to compose a post in my system's text editor (shush, I'm a Linux guy, if I just said 'xed' nobody'd have a clue, even on here lol) in order to not lose multiple lines of text to this virtual stupidity consistently and repeatedly...
Sorry, it just gets real frustrating real fast. Fix plz.
P L E A S E
Also the New Project wizard thingy (obligatory "I thought it was a dongle goblin!" reference) generates a chatroom for every project even when you set it to "please don't", so maybe that needs a work order put in about that as well... ;)
The editor bar on things like project log posts looks like it could benefit from CSS position: sticky. There's a point in the page where it spazzes out for me, which I assume is from a javascript trigger.
Thanks, I can check to see is position sticky behaves better than fixed.
The Notifications link on the drop-down menu is erratic on mobile browsers. Firstly it's difficult to activate the link as the drop-down retracts too quickly. When you do click on the link, the red dot goes away for a while then comes back later. One has to go to the desktop site to get to read the actual notification and close the popup to dismiss the red dot.
Any mobile browser specifically, is this on mobile safari for example?
Sorry, should have tried all the combinations. It only happens with Firefox on this Android tablet. Chrome, Chromium and Firefox on my Android phone behave correctly, showing a hamburger menu icon, but on this Android tablet, Firefox instead displays my avatar in that position. When I switch Firefox to request the desktop site, it correctly shows the hamburger.
This tablet has quite high resolution, as good as a desktop. It's a pity that Firefox on it doesn't let me force desktop site for all sites, only on a site by site basis. Apparently some developers still think mobile = low resolution. But that's a different issue.
Hi hackaday team! I've had this annoying bug for a long time now where I cannot remove a social link (Twitter) from my profile. That particular link doesn't show up in my "edit my profile" page :( I have long since deleted that Twitter handle so the link just goes to a Twitter 404 page, which doesn't reflect well on me :( Could you help me out?
I will send you a private message to correct it, the links is probably from signing up with a twitter account.
Sorry for getting back so late, it worked!! Thank you so so much
Adding to feedback from others a long time ago that displaying the date in the US format can be confusing. Only a small number of countries use the MDY ordering. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country
can I have the "add log" button at the top of the logs and not at the bottom please.
Can we get a button somewhere to view all projects we have liked/followed? It would make managing our feed much easier.
In your own profile there is a link near the top to the section Projects I Like and Follow. But it's unclear to me if this means (Liked & Followed) or (Liked | Followed).
It's either or liked or followed, https://hackaday.io/projects/hacker/901293/likesandfollows
Hello HaD Team,
another pressing need is a tool, not unlike what Facebook provides, to download the whole contents of one own's project, for many important reasons :
* offline reading (yes, Internet is not available everywhere)
* offline backup / storage
* prior art
* versioning (yes we can update logs but there is no roll-back)
etc.
I had hacked #HackaDump but it is broken because the website has evolved and changed the tags that the crude script expects.
So please HaD dev team, we need either:
* An external tool like #HackaDump to personally download one's project(s) but there are issues such as not triggering DOS filters or multi-platform support
* Or a "download project" button/option/menu items somewhere deep in the management page where you can request to download an archive (Facebook provides a .zip) with a dump from the database (all images, logs, comments, eventually as a web page, without all the space-wasting cruft of the various scripts and trackers, because yes I had to look at the source code and all its cruft :-P
@Dusan Petrovic said there is a ticket, I hope this will finally succeed !

ça ne m'a vraiment pas fait rire, j'ai vraiment d'énormes difficultés à lire votre site à cause de ce dark mode, je ne parviens pas à m'impliquer, alors que je sais qu'il y a beaucoup de contenu intéressants de projets à découvrir, mais je n'arrive pas à circuler sur ce site, le thème dark de ce site en particulier me perd totalement. J'ai tenté de modifier la CSS, d'activer le mode reader, mais rien n'y fait, dernièrement, j'ai même du installer un plugin que je n'active que pour ce site et même comme ça, je n'y arrive pas. Pourquoi ne pas proposer un light mode ? Dans votre article vous dites que tout le monde a switché vers le dark fut un temps (et leurs thèmes dark, je parviens à m'en accommoder car il est suffisamment contrasté et organisé) mais tous les logiciels et les sites sur lesquels je suis propose un dark theme ET un light theme. Pourquoi pas vous ?
J'en viens à me dire que je vais juste quitter la plateforme et envoyer au diable le prochain qui m'incitera à revenir, car je ne vois pas de lumière au bout du tunnel. C'était une tentative de blague mais je suis réellement très triste :"-(
---------------
Https://hackaday.com/2021/04/01/hackaday-forced-into-light-mode/ it really didn't make me laugh, I really have enormous difficulty reading your site because of this dark mode, i can't get involved, although i know there is a lot of interesting project content to discover, but I can't get around this site, the dark theme of this site in particular totally loses me. I tried to modify the CSS, to activate the reader mode, but nothing helped, lately, I even had to install a plugin that I only activate for this site and even like that, I didn't can't do it. Why not offer a light mode? In your article you say that everyone has switched to the dark for a while (and their dark themes, I manage to put up with it because it is sufficiently contrasted and organized) but all the software and the sites on which I am offered a dark theme AND a light theme. Why not you ?
I come to say to myself that I will just leave the platform and send to hell the next one who will make me come back, because I do not see any light at the end of the tunnel. It was an attempted joke but I am really very sad :"- (
bad day for me
As much as the article jokes, we do want to provide a high contrast, sunlight readable (light) option here on Hackaday.io to increase accessibility for those that might need it.
Love your truck cockpit. I just purchased an 2013 T680 dash complete except for the wiring harness and also have a steering wheel and first class Kenworth air ride seat. Still looking for a drivers side door with trim panel and window switches. I have learned how to build a pc compatible shifter and how to connect dash switches to lights, cruise, brakes and a couple of other things. However would like to know if there is a way to simulate the gages. Will be running dash lights and cigarette lighter plugs from a 12 volt battery on a solar charger. Probably the stereo and amp also. Voltage gage wont be a problem nor the air gage. Would like to know your thoughts on how to make everything more real. Have thought of placing everything on a spring mounted foundation which would add a little to the real feel. Will be mounting shift splitter in floor with a light tube full size shifter and boot. I am a master cabinet maker in addition to an retired truck driver so am hoping to replicate upper console and other parts to make it feel that more real. Look forward to your advice.
Thew gallery pulls photos from logs automatically, the other place they can be uploaded is the files section, they should then also appear in the gallery.
Can anyone tell me if a Thrust master joy stick can be reprogrammed to do other things?
You could also try asking this question on the Stack https://hackaday.io/stack
Not sure if you intend to modify the existing onboard mcu to make it do your bidding, but you can definitely hot-wire into the individual sensors and compute their function on an Arduino, I would imagine.

I've just soldered up a z80 mbc, powered it up, I have Io_op led on and the IOS and HALT leds flashing is this correct?
You may get some replies here but you could also try asking in the Stack https://hackaday.io/stack
The "Read More" tag that's offered in the editor for project details does not seem to work. It just shows up as "---------- more ----------" in the final text, but nothing actually gets truncated after it. See for example: https://hackaday.io/project/177317-tuning-fork-clock
This is a great question for the Stack, be sure to use the new Stack labels and set the type to 'Ask' a question!
Notifications don't seem to be working, I get the "Something went wrong." error message in Chrome, Opera and Edge when I click to display them.
I don't know if it's the same problem but the red dot sometimes reappears even though I have read the notification previously. Also I think I'm not getting some notifications but I can't be sure, and am not fussed about that.

Hi,
it seems I've touched the "end of the space"... ☻
I can't add more text to my page ( https://hackaday.io/project/177988/details/ )... Really ?????
I had to delete some lines from a text screenshot (formatted using a "code" block) to avoid text "disappearing" from the bottom of the page (entering new text) when saving...
I've to add others paragraphs and now I haven't no more space...
I've almost 1 GB of free space for files and no more space for the text??? Possible???
Any hints?
