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.
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.

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

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!
The recent flood of "projects" from UTSOURCE is no better than spam. Links in them lead not to project content, but to a UTSOURCE search page. Plenty of pictures, few if any words, no schematics, no parts lists, nothing that would make them actual projects of interest.
It's just blatant advertising. They should be kicked off. In the meantime report every one of their ads.
+1
For the past few weeks I've been reporting all UTSOURCE projects but also the account itself. Let's not forget the following accounts that also blatantly advertise the same site: utsourceproduct, Electroniclovers123.
Unfortunately there is also still those accounts that heavily advertise PCB manufacturing companies by publish projects like MakerIoT2020, ElectroBoy, ElectronicABC, ASHUMHRPROJECTS, Lithium ION, halfstudents.in, Subhajit, Asheesh, Circuits DIY, ElectronicABC, ...
I don't find objectionable the PCB houses which appear to be sponsoring actual projects as a means to gaining a platform. That's a value exchange, and some of those projects are of interest. The UTSOURCE stuff, however, is empty of value, and only adds noise to the site.
Some of the "sponsored projects" are risible though. "This blinky sponsored by blah blah boards". Right...
Indeed.
I also think it's fair that sponsored projects contain some advertisement. However, too many of the projects from the accounts I listed earlier are just examples from datasheet, rip off of well known projects, copy of popular projects that can be find all over the internet or absolutely too basic/simple to be called project. Too many of them are just not of any real interest and it is clear than it is not about quality but rather quantity. I can't feel the intent of the author to share something with Hackaday community... but I see a lot of them are just trying to earn money by pretending to do electronics.
I would like help deleting my account. (i have set up a new one). My account was created using github login and something borked with the email and passwords leaving it unusable. Please delete my account https://hackaday.io/deletethisaccount
i cant do it myself because the email 7834360@@github isnt verified for obvious reasons and the passord is unknown
Thank you
Hi @iHally Brendan - 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, send me a private message.
Reposting this issue since it was not answered. A project I created 6 days ago still has not appeared on the https://hackaday.io/projects page.
Hi @G Sozmen - Sorry for the late reply. I can see your project here
https://hackaday.io/projects?page=7&sort=date
Sent you a PM.

As I understand you won't see the counter until it reaches 50.
Hi, I created a new project yesterday but it does not appear on the https://hackaday.io/projects page. I tried sort by newest/recently updated etc. I can find the project using the "Find projects and more" search box at the top of the page.
Hi, Any way to report spam messages / users? I see the block option, but they can continue spamming somebody else...
You need to position the mouse on the same line as Reply so that the Report as Inappropriate link appears. Similarly for users from their profile.
