It feels like views have not been updated in a long time. I wonder if this could be why featured projects have not changed in months.
Hi there.
is there a known issue with project views and not updating for over a month ?
all of my projects have the same project views as per a month ago, so i wondered if there was a general issue with project counting of visits ?
https://hackaday.io/projects/hacker/1372169
I keep getting errors when trying to add pictures to project logs. Been happening for the past few days. I am using the Brave browser.
When I share updates documented on Hackaday, I often receive feedback that the links appear inaccessible or broken. Could there be an issue with Hackaday?
It seems I can't edit this log entry: https://hackaday.io/project/192074-minamil-3dp-another-minimal-cnc-mill/log/244934-yet-another-little-differential-gearbox
On save (or save draft), even if no changes, I get "
500 Internal Server Error
<horiz line>
nginx
"
not every a lost spaceman.
Any ideas?
Still get the 500 Lost Spaceman page now and then. Servers not coping?
Can you please do something about the scam messages? I got a new one today:
VerificationBot8:21 AM
Hello,
Thanks for sharing your creations with us!
To keep our platform safe and maintain a high-quality experience for everyone, we ask all users to complete a quick one-time account verification.
This helps us confirm real activity and prevent spam or duplicate profiles.
Why this matters
Without finishing this step, your account activity (such as posting, commenting, or liking) may remain limited, and your profile might not appear in public listings.
To get verified, click on this link and complete the short verification form:
https://tinu.be/(I REMOVED THE PATH)
(If the link does not open, copy it and paste it into the browser)
The process only takes a couple of minutes, and once completed, your account will be fully active again.
Note:
If you don’t complete verification within 24 hours, your account will be temporarily paused until the check is done.
Best regards,
Community Support Team
Scammers at it again. DO NOT click on any links in PMs from VerificationBot.
I got another suspicious message:
Alert954857411:31 AM
Your account has been temporarily limited, and your projects are temporarily unavailable to other users. To continue using our site, you must complete verification. You can do this here: https://hackaday.id-order.top/......
I also got the same message...deleted account, and it looks like spam
Hello, I just got "system message" from "Paul Support(deleted)" that my account is blocked and I should follow some link to t.co domain - is it phishing?
A user called ANNA Support sent a phishing message claiming that my HaD account would be disabled unless I followed a link. Kick then off.
As I've said, non-Creators should not be given PM ability.
None of the images are loading on my private project (background photo, gallery, project logs), in the console they all have a 500 status code. Images on other peoples projects seem to be loading fine so not sure if this is limited to just private projects.
I seem to be getting more 500 Lost spaceman on entering the site recently. Sometimes the content without the formatting, looking like CSS file not found. Servers overwhelmed?
RH: Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm still getting the same error in both Firefox and Chrome (Windows) after clearing the cache and doing a SHIFT-RELOAD, also on an Android tablet and phone. The yellow box at the bottom LH of the messages page gets stuck on "CONNECTING"
"Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list"
It should be cleared up now since Monday morning, give it another reload.
I'm a new user (though a lurker for many years), and just posted my first project. It immediately got an effusive fan mail from an obvious spammer, this guy: https://hackaday.io/AustinLin
How do we report such things? Huge waste of everyone's time.
Yes here or in the left column of any project or profile.
Hi, I'm getting this error in the personal message page:
OkhhCeSBz5ZL/BE4f7QZBTswUbzMyssop5H1caXZkXKImKPN7f/Cv0BjjjDWy+lHLlwzkG+AO+13Ufu/K5x47KlMR6xhx+AjXWd/fiD+qVQqplBtRTDtyuSvI/EvglVsEqDIxH9HoULXrof29w4Hiz2pO8gGE6FHz/Ob0mmT0MhYAehKMG7Un78mSciLsM/yB068VtJruWk8uc0Us6sG5X1qj81DxbfWYfjOvW6ngqsSNGeQxybf1MHtS4EazcITU9U8Emo4VCe2jIKzZLcGlw==-1.7.1.js:1
Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list
The senders are showing, but the message frame hangs.
Otherwise, thanks for a great service.
I don't know if it's the same issue, but the message panel also hangs for me so none of the previous conversations can be viewed. It just shows a static arc of the activity spinning circle.
A few of use were talking in https://hackaday.io/messages/room/2369 try clearing site data (js/css/etc), and hitting that room again.
Hey can you all check again this morning, there was a deployment yesterday for some small fixes not related to messaging. Sometimes messaging takes a while to load for the first time after a redeploy.
Still seeing no activity on the message panel. Tried logging out and in, clearing cookies. No joy.
Firefox, both normal and incognito windows (which shouldn't have any site data), still frozen. Chrome, both normal and incognito windows, still frozen. Opera, normal window, works. Sounds like some JS issue.
to follow this project and never miss any updates
I see that Feature Projects has finally updated again. I was told that projects were promoted to Featured automatically based on popularity, however its hard to tell because neither of the two currently Featured Project have any views, none.
So sorry but I'm going to harp on VIEWS again. For people like myself who take the time and make the effort to post their projects to Hackaday, aside form the occasional comment, views are the only feedback we get as to how much community interest there is in what we do. In a sense it's the only reward we get. So when your project flows through Trending Projects numerous times over weeks of posting updates and the views are non-existent, it gets a little frustrating. I can say with certainty that on other platforms similar to Hackaday views are updated immediately. You can see the views jump by 1 every time you visit.
So if there is an ongoing issue with views it might be nice to let people know so they can make an informed decision as to how much time and effort they want to put into their project blogs.
