There was a good idea in another topic to use your OrangeBoard as a note-pad for on-going projects. That reminded me: My orangeboard is very slow.  It's not a bug, it's size (1100+ comments). Is there any way of speeding it up? Apart from going through all 1100 comments, deleting them one at a time, that is...

I'm trying to enter an instructable into the woodworking contest but it says I'm not eligible. I confirmed that i hadn't published already so now I'm very confused. Can someone help?

  i don't know what it is but if you can help me find out it will be greatly appreciated  got it from an old military guy selling stuff on the side of the rode and he said he made it but he did not remember what it was made form an old fishing box thanks agine

I'm not a PRO,can anyone send me a PATCH? I'm 'sk8er man', if that helps.

My netbook's model is SAMSUNG N148 Plus. comment for additional details because i don't know what details to give you

When I go into shortcuts and highlight all my preferences they do not appear between 'You' and 'Logout' like the instructions says, what am I doing wrong?  Yes I am saving them.

pls help me  to make a robotic arm which moves though a specific path.

I have been a member of Instructables for many years and have always been reticent about posting here. This is simply because as I do not live in the USA , even though I am British I seem excluded from many activities here eg competitions forum groups etc. I know rules and regulations may be varied between nations but  I always thought the world wide web was a place to celebrate skills wherever they arise on the planet  . I do off course accept that any obstruction of such freedoms is a denial of that freedom but does not authorise  surely freedom to partake in abetter world..... ho hum rant over any thoughts good people

Ok im gonna try and make a stop motion with legos and other stuff but i have not done a stop motion before and dont have windows movie maker even though i should have it

To whom it may concern: The official rules of the Food Science challenge state that "Entries for the Contest must be received by Sponsor by no later than 11:59 p.m. PT May 7". However, I am unable to enter my instructable even though it isn't midnight yet!! It is currently about 8:30 p.m. PT, so I should still have 3.5 hours left to submit my instructable. I've entered instructables last-minute for contests like this before and I haven't ever had any issues, so why is it different this time?  Could somebody please let me know if I'm missing something, and if not how should I go about rectifying this issue and getting my entry in on time? I'll also be sending this to info@instructables.com, but that email takes several days to be answered so does anyone have a better method of getting in contact with Instructables staff quickly and easily? Thanks in advance,  Chris

I want to make it out of wood. i want it to be hard to figure out cuz my lil brother is really good at figuring this kinda stuff out.

It's still a work in progres, the previous moddel didn't work corectly, so you'll be geting the basic idea structure Project Python - AKA S8rR Modern - check the origonal S8rR for it. - should be up by 2PM eastern time. modern is simply a difrent version of the origonal not a big improvement. that the V2 will be baised on and improving the modern (kinda like when you take someones gun strip it down to what you like and build a new thing around that to somthing you like) sorry about any wait I like my things to be quality/origonal rather then quanity and cheap

I have unsubscribed to all emails.  Everything is unchecked.  But I still get the emails.  Why?  It's really starting to make me angry.

I've seen people cosplaying as L, but I can't find a girl doing it. I really like the series Death Note, but I'm afraid I can't pull off being L for Halloween. I can act like L pretty well, but I dunno if I can look like L. (I'm asian though, so that might help) I have long black hair and slight bangs. But I wear glasses. Any suggestions?

I created a new instructable, my first time, on Sept 10: https://www.instructables.com/id/Awesome-Wooden-Record-Crate/ I tried to enter the contest for "First Time Author": https://www.instructables.com/contest/fta2017/ However, but I get a pop-up message "You haven't published any eligible instructables yet." - and my only option is to create a new instructable. Which would not be my first time :) So although there are still seven days left in the contest, and I'm logged in, and my project was created within the date range - I can't enter the contest. Frustrating! Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Watch this video quickly; it's apparently not supposed to be there, and the owner is working on getting it removed. Neat stuff, though. Doesn't exactly look like a fun job, though...

She just went though a really tough surgery and it is just a nice thing to do. 

I'm looking for a good knex gun to build but I have no hinges and no balljoint connectors and I don't have a whole lot of pieces but I could still build something, but what's worth building?

   Viewing others accounts are possible, though it seems I cannot look at alt+library's profile. It says: ERROR 400: no member: alt library.    Though the account's name is alt+library.

I though I'd share my new buddies.

I'm looking for a decent HD camcorder, for mostly tripod use. I want something I can put in my bag though. I'm not particularly interested in 'flip' camcorders though. Thanks! P.S. if anyone's selling, let me know

The pics pretty much explain it (this where made with bricksmith, a free lego digital building program, though u can download knex parts, though it is messing the ball joint connectors, ball joint, chain links, and black Y thingys)

 is that normal?

Though I do program and will take the certification exam in a few days, I need some technical help.  I drew a picture in charcoal and though I don't have it any more, I do have a picture of it on a digital camera.  How do I upload the picture to my computer? (My computer is an Apple MacBook)

When i attempt to reply to comments and click "post" it says please enter the capchita thingy it still doesn't appear though even after refreshing!! irritating! 

Marshmellow. xkcd. 'nuff said.Seriously though, I wonder if he means ewilhelm's shooter?

I cant delete/remove a lot of pictures in my image library because it said it's being used, even though I know they're not being used at all. I need help...

I am using 15 volts, still they don't light up .OR if there are other methods to supply voltage please help me (not the joule thief please).

Well, I might be off for a little while. Just though I'd let you guys know...

I made this in illustrator last night. Is it good? kinda grungey though...

Just today, I am no longer able to see images in pdf versions of the instructable, the images are still there for individual viewing though!

It looks cool, but it's fake. i want it though

My sites www.legoengines.co.cc www.modelengines.co.cc I made these 4 friends: www.thetiger.co.cc www.nowimpsallowed.co.cc None of these are done!!! goto them though. the top 2 are good.

I felt an urge to blog. Though some of you may find the content or tone offensive, I do not apologise.

I submitted a hack (https://www.instructables.com/id/How_to_turn_a_ThinkGeek_Screaming_Monkey_Slingshot/) to the ThinkGeek contest last night, and another (https://www.instructables.com/id/How_to_turn_a_ThinkGeek_Screaming_Monkey_Slingshot_1/) this morning. Only the second gave me any confirmation email or anything of the sort though. The first Instructable doesn't show up on the contest site, but, on the Instructable, it has the ThinkGeek hacks logo at the top. Any suggestions? I am thinking that it is because they are named similarly (though they are completely separate).

Would the metal used for aerial be able to have water running though it, for a water gun, Thanks.

The knexer. He stopped posting the middle of last year and has a line though his name. What happened to him?

I have something better than mlcad, for modelling knex. Its only 2-d, though

I'll enter when my led's get here... I have a good one though!

You should be able to see which classes you have enrolled in!. It doesn't seem as though there is a way to do this.

Mide sinudses id all clogged up. As long as this doesn't go into my chest (like it did for my wife), I will be able to survive the next few days.I really hate sinus infections though, don't you? Anyone out there fall victim to the latest round of stuff going around? ...but this is how I feel about now though....

To whom this may concern, an administrator or another customer/user of this site, I have a free account, and i know that i can't do things like download pdf's, though i didn't have a problem going through each page and read online, though now, i'm unable to see the multiple images concerning each section of instruction pertaining to the demonstration of the instructions, My questions is: has the free account been demoted by taking away the image viewing privileges?

Hello there! I was just wondering if there was a Arduino code that could possibly read the person, who is using it's, emotions? I am trying to build an animatronic suit that also doubles as a costume. I wanted to make the ears move due to emotion but I haven't been able to figure out any code that could accomplish this though............. Hopefully I can figure out something though!!!

This is the first mini knex gun that I know of on this site I am not going to post though.
