Many of my old project lost images completely :(
Examples:
https://hackaday.io/project/9795-nedonand-homebrew-computer
https://hackaday.io/project/5507-xorya-extremely-low-cost-game-console-on-pic32

Somehow the formatting in the project descriptions has stopped working. See for example: https://hackaday.io/project/202928-diy-portrait-mode-gamepad

I'll check why newlines aren't being respected.

Hi, Richard, any update on this? It seems to affect all projects.

As a newly signed up .io user, it’s easy to get the impression that everything here is stale.

The home page defaults to ”my feed” which currently features the 2019 "Hackaday.io - Capture & Log Mobile App”.

The ”project you might like” features

Hackaday SuperConference 2015,

2017: A Year of Hacking, the 2016 EMF Camp, and so on.

I guess this is old news to everyone :)

This can happen if you only follow, https://hackaday.io/hackadayrobot , we are refreshing the onboarding experience to help people find more projects/profiles to follow initially based on interests. Not sure if you missed that screen or just didn't select anything.

We could probably show the global feed to new signups that aren't following enough to fill the "my feed," https://hackaday.io/feed

Can I save a project somehow so i can return to it later? Either a download or a PDF of the project would be good. It's hard to find some of these projects later on.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 08/19/2025 at 20:41

You can find projects you follow pretty easily.

Pasting of images into log entries is broken? When I paste an image it disappears after a few seconds and is replaced with a "broken image" symbol.

Are you sure? yes | no

Jesse Farrell wrote 08/13/2025 at 02:07

It's been like that for awhile hasn't it? I had this issue a year or two ago, and ever since I've been been uploading them instead of pasting (i.e. image -> Upload -> Choose Files).

Are you sure? yes | no

Tim wrote 08/13/2025 at 07:09

I may have suppressed that thought. Anyways, that was a really cool feature that reduction friction quite a bit.

Are you sure? yes | no

danjovic wrote 08/13/2025 at 12:26

The 'broken' icon also appears sometimes when I upload an image. Some images upload just right, others don't. After a while the 'broken' image is there. Do you have any AI content check on the images that postpone the appearance of the image until it have verified against evil content ?

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 08/13/2025 at 13:56

lol no, its just the image server/cdn being slow sometimes

Are you sure? yes | no

Ioan Larionov wrote 09/24/2025 at 17:56

Yes, this is really frustrating — image pasting just doesn’t work. Please fix it.

Are you sure? yes | no

Ken Yap wrote 08/07/2025 at 11:35

When a comment is published on the Global Feed, and it overflows the summary limit, the "more" and "View all comments" links are different, and the former leads nowhere, returing the lost in space robot error page.

Are you sure? yes | no

Hello, I am also having image issues.

I tried uploading images to my project from two different computer, on different web browsers, but all I am getting is black images on the screen.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 07/23/2025 at 22:34

Hey I've messaged operations people, its probably a cdn "display" issue, the images should be uploaded and appear when they correct whats going on.

Are you sure? yes | no

Jesse Gordon wrote 07/24/2025 at 10:44

Thank you!

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 07/24/2025 at 17:35

They resolved the issue and are discussing some improvements to avoid it from happening again.

Hello, at the moment I have no chance to upload a picture. Of course I checked size and file format. No chance, neither project gallery nor project log. No picture. Am I the only one with this problem? If a upload a picture in the gallery I see a black backgound, if I upload a picture (and I tried a lot of different pictures) I see a small symbol and no picture.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 07/18/2025 at 20:28

I'm not seeing an issue right now uploading, which of your projects or logs shows the black or small symbol in place of the image?

Are you sure? yes | no

Peter wrote 07/19/2025 at 11:25

Thanks for your fast respone, it is working fine today. May be I am a little bit impatient sometimes.

HI there

My project 'view' count seems to be stuck at 890, is this normal and will it update ?

I know people have been visiting the past week so I would have thought the view count would have updated.

I started a new project on Hackaday. I have several keywords to facilitate searching for it, but it doesn't show up in any search results. It's been quite a few days since I started it: https://hackaday.io/project/203296-a-slimmer-10x-100mhz-differential-probe. Any thoughts on what the problem could be? My other (older) project shows up properly when I search for "Differential Probe".

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 07/08/2025 at 13:07

Slimmer is now showing in search. There was an intermittent search data ingestion issue that was cleaned up and newish projects should be searchable again.

Are you sure? yes | no

Josh Ferrell wrote 06/19/2025 at 13:00

You can't change the email address on a hackaday account you login to with Github without a password. You can't reset the password without access to email address hackaday has. If you remove the email address with Github it doesn't update hackaday. How do you change the email address?

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 06/19/2025 at 15:02

Use this link to set a password, https://hackaday.io/forgotpass
Then you should be able to update the email using the new password set.

adding pictures to project logs doesn't work. I tried many images and there seems to be an image with CDN storing images. My images are small (100K) and png. so they should work.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 06/06/2025 at 14:55

They are working but I have seen some delay from when an image is selected and saved to when it is available on cdn. I'll reach out to operations and see what they can do.

Are you sure? yes | no

Could the system please be fixed so project titles can include apostrophe and be shown correctly and not like ' ? It looks stupid.

Going to correct this, thanks.

I was looking at one of my projects today and noticed two usernames that I don't recognize were added to my 'Team' list for my project page. So there were 3 members of my team, myself and these two others. I took a screen shot, and then deleted them. Was my Hackaday account hacked? Who do I report this to in order that someone at Hackaday is aware.

Are you sure? yes | no

Ken Yap wrote 05/16/2025 at 01:46

The log page https://hackaday.io/project/7431-the-kicad-central/log/24103-kicad-links contains a link to kicad-pcb dot org which is not an official domain, owned by a non-KiCad entity, and could conceiveably host malware. It should be changed to the official site: https://www.kicad.org
