I am trying to change my email, but I log in with Github. My primary email on Github is changed, but I cannot figure out how to change it here. Please help and thanks in advance.

Hello,  I seem to be having a problem changing my email on the Hackaday.IO.  I manage my email and type in the new one.  It says email has been changed but it does not take effect.  Is there a workaround for this?

Looking into this, I'll message you.

User electroniclover123 is just the same user as utsourceproject, posting the same copied Spanish projects to advertise utsource.

UTSOURCE account also.

Also, JLPCB service introductions done by CircuitDIY are just advertisement and yet there are not deleted. Why? 

User utsourceproject is getting even more ridiculous. They are posting copied projects in Spanish and only links to their catalogue, no instructions, not even a link to the project they copied from. How can those be regarded as projects? It's just advertising.

Also add Electroniclovers123. 

I hope moderators will delete those accounts soon because I'm tired to flag them for nothing.

How do I get rid of an empty table created with the table editor?

Further, I created a table at the end of a new project. When I saved it and tried to re-edit, the table was at the end of the text and I couldn't add any more text below it. That's why I had to redo the table; the remaining blank table could not be deleted.

You could switch to HTML mode in the editor and carefully delete the table element, taking care not to introduce syntax errors.

Hi, I have already uploaded my new project as "public". but my project doesn't appear at "newest" or "recently updated" or any other option. Would you please check why? Thanks.

Unfortunately for newish accounts there is a cooling off period, your project should appear in those lists soon.

Converting text to <h2> is now broken. I can select a line of text and convert to "heading 2" once, but subsequent selections/conversions are ignored. The generated HTML shows no <h2> tags are inserted during the 2nd and subsequent attempts.

Is there a way to see all of your "followed" tasks? Maybe there could be a default list that anything you follow gets added to...

Please auto flag projects and users that use terms like "call+girl" or "escort", maybe add a bit of "casino" to it. This place feels super neglected when you keep projects used as advertisement for escorts up for 3 days.

I'd like to see a feature where if more than say 8 users in good standing (by some criteria, say number of projects, followers, or whatever, to ensure that they are "serious" users) flag a project, page or comment as inappropriate, it automatically gets hidden, and a moderator can check it in their own time. This will crowdsource spam detection.

<hr> tags (horizontal rule) are not showing up in the output.

Viz the link below, starting at step 3, each experiment has a HR tag separator (between "results" and "hypothesis" of the next experiment). The HR is in the html listing, but doesn't show in the output.

Looking over the generated HTML, the system appears to be removing the closing tag </hr> from the horizontal rule. This is not valid HTML, and is probably the root cause. Entering a literal <hr> by hand in the editable text with the closing tag, the generated HTML removes the closing tag there as well.

Have you tried <hr/> instead?

User "Trust Pilot Review" is probably a spam account. While he hasn't sent me anything, he did follow my account, so his name pops up in my feed.

Check out the user page and see what you think. It's not specifically doing anything wrong, but it might violate your TOS.

User Sharyn Xu of Seeed Studio Marketing has sent me 2 messages inviting me to design sensors for the Seeed studio sensor thingy.

These messages look suspiciously like spam, and I'm wondering if she's spamming other users as well. The 2nd message was all about how other companies have successfully used their products.

What makes the messages particularly annoying is the personal tone: "Hi Peter, this is Sharyn from Seeed Studio. Our team were impressed by your projects, are you open to design sensors or do some projects with us?"

It looks for anything like someone reaching out personally, but clicking on the link goes to a contest with a $300 prize.

Please look into this. The personal message system should not be used for marketing announcements, even if they are contests.

@Peter Walsh - I'll take a look. Thank you.

Hi @stanboya - Deleting directly through Github isn't working. You need to have an email in the system (added through the gold banner or otherwise), then visit the reset password page to set a password. You can then delete the account with that password on the account page. If that won't work for you, confirm that we can delete it. Thanks!

Occasionally "notifications" have given me the "something's wrong but I don't know what" feeling. 

A couple of days ago the most recent notification clearly disappeared for a while then returned.

Right now I have two HaD tabs open with different notification lists. The most recent couple of notifications are present in one and absent from the other. Even after multiple reloads of both. After reloads the notification lists open with a progress bar suggesting that they are fetching fresh, but different, data. ... Just tried again with same results.

hi

hi

hey, I can't edit this project, it tells me the summary can't be blank, when it isn't.

Try giving it another shot

whatever you did, worked - thanks :)

I've been here for maybe a decade and never noticed "My Notifications"...

Unfortunately, it's way too small to scroll through that tiny window.

Is there (or can we please have) a dedicated page like hackaday.io/notifications ?

( BTW, I've heard from many others over the years who've similarly missed comments because they'd been relying on emails for notifications, which are sporadic )

(( Ideally, a way to mark/hide "read" notifcations would also be helpful! ))

Thanks for what y'all do here!
