I second this one. More than that, having feed as default view makes counter of new feed items useless, because it is cleared when viewing feed (which is default view).
I'd suggest making the default page adjustable (and include the oprion of returning you to wherever you were before logging in)
yes, configuring the default page sounds like a great idea :-)
Respected authorities
I want to inform you that my project with the name
"Life is a state of mind"
has been deleted from my account.
Don't know who has deleted my project
Last night it was there in my profile.
Kindly resolve the issue as soon as possible
Hi
I would _really_really_really_ like it that if I click on a HaD/blog to a HaD.io link and then proceed to log in, I would _NOT_ get moved to this feed thing I never use anyway. I was on to read of some project and now have to go back or find the url again or something. Really super annoying.
Thanks for fixing this already in advance.
Yours, Teemu
P.S. Issue tracking vs. unordered comments in a "project". same.
Hello, would it be possible to add a feature in order to strike the text we want inside the project editor menu ?
I second this request. Also, provide a non-wysiwyg mode maybe?
Sometimes the WYSIWYG isn't. :P +1 on the strike-out as I can show what the significant changes are in the log.
+42 for the non-wysiwig mode ! the editor is often a pain !
Even a basic markup language would be great
Oh my, even typing my reply triggered weird cursor behaviours :-(

logs list is a often requested feature. Let's hope this will finally be implemented :-)
I'm managing a team project "lasercut optics bench".
For some reason, when I invite a cut/paste user name from their Hackaday.io page, such as "Jennifer.cote", it won't send an invite. If I start to type the user name, then select one of the auto-completed names it does work.
In the first case cut/paste should be the exact name, so it shouldn't be a typo or unicode problem. It acts as if the cut/pasted name isn't found, but the autocompleted name is found.
Feature Request: an Eagle/KiCad schematic/board viewer so i can look at people's boards on IO without having to have Eagle installed. Maybe just a script/ulp that dynamically creates a pdf from any of those files for viewing?
Somebody in my Feed used the bold tag and now everything is bold :D
Problem report with the interface.
System: MsWindows 7 x64; Browser: Firefox, latest version.
I wrote some texts, some parts of them I copy-pasted from some articles I wrote in MsOffice a long time ago. I posted those texts as update logs, then published. But I forgot to check the spelling, so back to editing.
Problems:
- Sometimes cursor positions itself to the beginning of the page without warning - if the texts are too big. Same problem with hack-chat - if I write more than two rows and I wish to paste something, cursor also goes back to the beginning (as if some invisible hand presses the "home" key)
- I edit the logs, right-click the highlighted misspelled words, replace them with the correct spelling, re-publish the update log and surprise: no spelling is performed;
- This "going home" issue when pasting something - it does not happen when I write big texts as a comment - such as the text I am posting here.
Please try that using one of the big update logs in my project, or any other big misspelled text to confirm.
I did not try this using other operating system or other browser but I will keep you updated if this is OS or browser related.
Can we have a light theme as an option please? I can barely read the present colour scheme. I no longer have 20-something eyes. Thanks!
Bug: the GitHub link defined in the external link section of a project does not appear on the left side of the project page.
Major bug: the RSS feed is calling the likes skulls! https://hackaday.io/rss/globalFeed
This has been resolved now. Thank you for bringing it up!
If there is a separate/better feedback channel for the HAD prize, let me know and I'll use that for those specific problems.
After entering a project into the HAD prize, the user is presented with the list of project domains, viz:
"Projects should fall into one of these domains: Automation, Robotics, Vehicle, Power, Security, Wireless, Automation, Medical, Tools."
Note that "Automation" appears twice in this list...
(Only someone on the Asperger's spectrum would notice this, but then consider your audience... :-)
Perhaps a new "List" item for kitchen appliances could be created - there's a number of coffee and tea maker projects that could be added to it.
I’m trying to upload .scad and .stl files but I’ve got that error : "An error occurred uploading undefined. This file type may currently be unsupported."I was able to upload some files before but not anymore. Is it a bug ?
If you have any formatting such as "unordered list" as your last paragraph, it is not easy/possible from the GUI to remove that formatting as you can't get past it to delete. I had to start a project log to copy/paste the text over to remove that.
Have run into similar... It often seems to take numerous iterations of <enter>, <backspace>, and/or <shift>-<tab>, but eventually it seems to sorta work, on my system. Though, it is quite nasty at times. Once I even got a double-bullet, which boggled my mind (and has been left for its groovy-factor):
Double tab! Pun intended.
If you are lucky, there is an undo option in your browser. I think I usually have to remove all the bullet formatting and retry. Sometimes it is faster to open up new browse, edit the same page and copy/paste over, then discard.
I've encountered similar issues... Fortunately the nastier "space-turned-into-linefeed" "feature" seems to have disappeared :-)
I had a similar problem where it's not possible to write anything after an image on android. Had to save the project log then continue editing on the laptop :/
It seems like there is no "remove" button for the projects background image.
You can probably make a 1 pixel picture in black and use that as a new black drop until they fix it.
But that wouldn't be as easy as having a button ;) that would be me having to "hack" hackaday.io. And making 1px pic. Meh. It would be easier to take a picture in the dark. Although my pictures are too big so I still would have to cut and/or shrink it.
You can just use PC paint to do an area fill. The size of picture probably doesn't even matter as long as you match the background colour. 1 pixel is just a precaution that blackground isn't 000 black.
It'll take HaD sometime to implement the changes etc. and meanwhile you can hack this, right? Yes I ran into this annoyance, but managed to find something I own and like as backdrop.
well then you're talking about setting up a virtual machine or getting parallels to run first, finding a windows image and illegally obtaining a serialnumber to use ;)
I'm basically saying that I know how to get around the problem, but sometimes it's just easier to ask someone to make it easier. That's what the feedback is for, right? And sometimes someone has to point that out first. of those 3200+ comments I've made a few already and I know that it takes some time and I'm not at all complaining ;)
hacking, hackaday.io. :-)
Like it. Actually I'm also doing it with the project log drafts, if I want to show the publishing date and not he creation date on it.
Start to write, adding things during the days, and just before the publishing copy it to a new log and delete the original.
It would be better to have a calendar control, but I'm getting used to it. :-)
We'll add that to our list of updates to make in the future. Thanks for the feedback, Dave!
I did noticed that a animated .gif in one of my project logs do not work anymore. The image's address give back a 500 error. Also reuploading does not help. Did you throw out the .gif support?
This is the log: https://hackaday.io/project/8270-pictil/log/33620-gif-time
Hi Alex, our QA team looked into this -- the GIF seems to be working again when I just checked it. Let me know if it's working now for you! And we'll see about why that 500 error happened to make sure the underlying issue gets fixed.
Thanks. Now it is working again (At least on one of my computers).
I had the same problem, but now it seems to be working again.
Thank you for the fix, HAD!

Hey, is it possible to have two kinds of feeds?
One for personal projects, and the other for all the subscription/following people/projects I am interested in, please?
Thanks!
