After sending a message, I go to my “sent” tab and I can see at the end it says it was replied to, but after clicking on it, I cannot see the other users message. I only see my own original message. In my “inbox” i have nothing at all. Am I doing somethkng wrong?

I got a big PROBLEM, can you help me? I am unable to upload an Instructable after the fourth or fifth Photo. While saving, an error message is coming on a black page and the page is getting hanged. The message is.......( There's been a problem updating your Instructable parsererror, Syntax error JSON. parse: bad control character in string literal)

How come when I delete a message (for instance, just to clean up my orangeboard area) it doesn't actually delete the comment- instead it just hides the comment behind something that says it's been deleted, but it's still there cluttering up my orangeboard? This also seems to happen in the instructables themselves. If I make an error in a comment, delete it and then re-write it correctly - there I am with my message, and another one below it saying it's been deleted or removed etc. Why don't these things just go away when we delete them?

Hey everyone, this is my first post and i was wondering how i would spell out a message on the ground in flames for a special occasion. I saw this sort of thing in the movie Daredevil, i think... where the police officer threw a lit cigarette on the ground and it ignited "DAREDEVIL" in flames on the ground... i noticed it burned for a while as i was watching the movie, and i talked with some other people about it and they suggested it could be some sort of gel... any ideas?

Do YOU think the government posts subliminal messages? What kind of subliminal messages do they post??

Hi, I was creating a new instrutable when suddenly this error occurred when I was uploading 3 pictures. I was working on my laptop with Windows 7. browser: Chrome (version it's the most recent) Please help me, I can't even delete the instructable. thanks in advance

Someone thought that it is funny to send harassing messages to my inbox. Would someone please investigate what is going on? Thank you for your help.

My inbox said 1 new so i clicked on it but i couldn't click on the actual message

Hi when I click on my inbox in instructables it gives me my past message and says "Sent a few seconds ago" I'm not even sure if I receive messages anymore. I have a Mac and use firefox to view Instructables.

Im Going To Post This Sniper On Instructables...Waht Do You Think? PS:This Is Not The PSniper! If It Is Not To You Likeing, I Will MOD It.

Why is it that I get an email with the instructable from... Instructables newsletter@instructables.com Then usually within the same day I get a duplicate message from Instructables newsletter@instructables.com via me-ss2-6zuaan.mailengine1.com The duplicated message shows up as BLANK from Google Gmail... unless I click on DETAILS... but then it is the exact same email I got from Instructables newsletter@instructables.com Why is that? And how do I stop it? It started a month or so ago... it's annoying. Thanks, Jerry

I have a .psd file that is getting this error message "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." This is the first time this has happened on my Ps, CS6...and I've looked elsewhere to get some help. And I was just working on this file a while ago, so I'm not sure what went wrong. It is located on one of my USB Flash Drives, and I have heard that certain USBs tend to cause these things....yet this is the first its happened. How to do recovery for photoshop?

Well..the deadline is coming soon. I know I had a lot of fun building my robot, and i'm sure you had fun too. I know i've got some really tough competition out there, and I just wanted to wish you all luck. Even if I don't win at all I know that I'll be walking away with a lot learned (and a create =] ). I think each of the projects entered in this contest really do deserve a prize.Micah

Hi everybody, Not long ago I had an idea about a messaging system based on a simple client-server architecture. Nothing new so far, but my idea was to optimize any exchanged message or sentence for a 4x20 LCD display, so that an arduino client could be easily coded. In fact, I liked the idea so much, that I already wrote a server prototype, as well as the arduino client. I gave this project the name "C0ldWater". The client is based on an arduino board, which uses an ethernet shield for internet connectivity, a 4x20 lines LCD display as an output device and a ps/2 keyboard for user input. I also bought a VPS, on which I run the server and a blog. You can reach it at www.c0ldwater.com and you will find all information and instructions to build such a device, as well as all code to be downloaded. So why am I posting here? Easy question, so here's my easy answer: because I already went through a first sort of alpha testing on my own, but I still need some help from anyone who's interested in this project, to get some feedback about his/her personal user experience in order to understand what sort of modifications I eventually need to implement. Nothing difficult or boring, just connect to the service and use it as a normal user: register, read, send, forward, delete or list messages and so on. I'd like to receive any suggestion, criticism or just your first impressions about the project. For those interested, but without the required hardware, I also wrote a simple linux client that can be downloaded from my site. It just creates two threads, one for receiving and one for sending data. Anyway, if you're still stacked with the win OS, you can download "netcat" and use that to connect to c0ldwater: "nc c0ldwater 8889" or "nc 5.9.252.156 8889". Thanks in advance to all of you! Cheers

Please help me do to that.

I hadn't seen this bug reported. Private message without title cannot be opened. Instructables Robot should not allow to sent untitled PM. OR clicking whole area around message, in inbox screen, should lead to the matter of message. I know, what was in PM, because i have turned on email notifications, but i still have, in my profile, one unreaded message. Inbox (1).

Hi, First post...be gentle! Trying to find someone to guide me through converting a normal, off the shelf, home smoke detector so that it emits a pre-recorded message, rather than the usual siren. Anyone? Thanks Naldo

HOW DO YOU SEND A MESSAGE I DONT UNDERSTAND

I am unable to open and view a message with the subject missing. Please help

Please Instructables, for the love of jesus, give me a tool to message all my followers.  I have important information I need to share with them and no way to do it. 

Ok, so I can set up my own wireless network from my laptop, how could I send messages to the devices (computers, ipods, cells etc.), either all of them or specific one(s)?

  I submitted a new bug report to the bugs forum around 07:00 PDT and received a 'message submitted' banner. The message has not appeared in the forum after 5 hours. The report related to a misleading e-mail message which I will resubmit in full if it doesn't appear, but this report is to alert you to the inordinate delay / loss of the original message. (Of course, there's no guarantee the same won't happen to this posting #;¬)

I wanted to take a look at the Light Up the Night contest entries but just got an error message.  Just wanted to let you know in case no one had reported it earlier.

I can't publish my instructable because when I hit the publish button, after a very long wait, I get this message: ERROR 401: Not authorized to edit object EMN5N04FSSIUO9O Can anyone tell me if I am doing something wrong or how to fix this? Thanks.

When I click "publish", it says: "Oops! We couldn't understand your request. Please contact us to tell us as much detail as possible about what you were trying to do when this happened." .. All I did was click "Publish" on my current draft version. Suggestions?

The Robot seems to have a problem. Whenever I comment on the questions page, the robot sends me my comment in E-Mail form as if someone else answered my question. But it's not my question at all, I just tried to answer someone else's question. I don't need to know what I just said. Is this normal or broken? *It happened last on monday the 18th so I don't know if it's been fixed or just being intermittent.

To the staff writing software for the site's message program, There seems to be a character limit per line when viewing messages. The sentences display from one side of the text field to the other then simply stop and continue on the next line. While that is a good thing, preventing scrolling across the screen, it also tends to cut words so that the message can be quite taxing to read. I'm viewing this in firefox on a windows 7 os.

Aside from leds and microcontroller, what do i still need in order to make a moving message display?

I'm working on a puzzle and there is a hidden message in this .gif.  I tried using a program called "Hide in Picture" to decode it but I haven't had any luck.  The password is Pluto.  Can anybody give me a hand? Here's the .gif: http://apairofpuzzlers.webs.com/GC1T4BF/shore.gif

I'm working with CorelDraw 9. I've been working on something for two months, it is 987Kb. Just when I was finishing the project, the file became corrupt. It upens up to 40% and then I receive the message "Error Reading myfile.cdr file". I tried importing it to a new cdr, it gets 74% done and then gives me the error message. When I click on accept, I receive an error message that says that it cannot import an empty document. I can see it in the preview box, though. I need a Corel programmer that could maybe open the file code and repair the problem. Can you help me?

Hello Everyone,I am trying to use my raspberry pi to send messages via the internet to my phone. What I want to know is, if it is possible without using any cellular connection or services like twilio? I want to do it over the internet.Please help me with this.Cheers

My name is Simon Njoroge. I have successfully made a 9(rows) x 24(columns) LED display panel that displays a scrolling message that uses the attached code. The panel consists of course of LEDs, 3 shift registers, a 4017 decade counter together with transistors and resistors. However, I would like the panel to display a static message of a maximum of 7 characters for my project need. Kindly can someone edit the code for me? I followed the instructions from the following site:https://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-24X6-LED-matrix/

For my school science fair, I am designing a circuit that will turn appliances on/off through their power cord by a text message. I am thinking of using the vibrating motor leads of an old phone to control it. Anyone who knows of a source on the Wide Wide World o' Web about such a circuit, or would like to help me design it (collaborate on an i'ble?), PM me or email me at westy158497@yahoo.com. Yes, I use the same name and password for everything!

I am trying to add an Instructable. When I add the second page I get the error: here's been a problem updating your Instructable parsererror SyntaxError: JSON.parse: bad control character in string literal Does anyone know what that means, and how I can get it to stop yelling at me?

Hi,  I have been trying to download the halloween make up ebook and get this error.:- AccessDeniedAccess Denied1255728ACB601357b+0wHE3R/m7dTbNsDJnpixLcx565TdG0AKfrPRpkozKJ6qrz0NZkPJApzuTQCVkA I tried other ebooks of interest and they all download perfectly Anyone else having problems or better yet have a solution?  Thank

I've just pushed the first significant release after a couple engineering vacations.  Rested and refreshed, I offer you these updates: The confirmation/error messages that some processes give are now 'modal', meaning that instead of an easy-to-miss orange bar at the bottom of the page, they are now a box in the middle, with a button to remove them.  We found that many users did not see the bar at the bottom and were confused about whether the site did what they wanted, or why it apparently did not.  We've done some work on removing confirmations that are common enough that it would be annoying to have to close them all the time, but if we've missed any of those please don't hesitate to let us know. We've reluctantly implemented a 3-contest limit when you publish a new Instructable.  We just had too many cases where someone, for example, entered their Arduino Instructable into, say, the cupcake contest.  It became a real load on the contest managers to keep removing ineligible Instructables.  We hope that a 3-contest limit will help authors select the appropriate contest(s) to enter. We made Facebook login a bit more obvious Clarified the Pro payment page to make it clearer that there is a free account always available Couple of bugfixes around PDFs, ebooks, and patch sending That's it for now, as ever if you find problems with these or any features, let us know by adding a forum topic in the Bugs section.

As a group manager, can you send a message to all members of your Instructables group? I'm thinking updates on the group or events, etc.

I used to be able to view all the instructables but lately I keep getting the redirect loop error message. Please help or I will jut delete the whole site from my email. Thanks. Joe

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

I see the PM system has been updated to match the new format of our personal profile pages. Nice. But, can we have the formatting options back?  They do make communication clearer and easier...

In this instructable https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-gears-easily/ I get this message Above the first step - I don't see anything odd there when I edit the instructable Strange. Any ideas?

Hi,, Is it possible to attach a pdf to an answer. Many thanks, Qdoc

I've been experiencing very slow PMs recently, typically a delay of two days between pressing send and the message being received.The same has been happening the other way as well.Is it just me, or is something wrong?As an aside, I am typing this on a borrowed EeePC. Odd little beast.

I searched around and couldnt find an instructable for what I was looking for. So, does anyone know if theres a guide to making an LED message board that connects to the internet either through wifi or usb that allows the user to send messages over an internet connection to the message board and then have them displayed in real time? Thanks.

Share you knowledge please..^_^ thanks..

I just updated one of my instructables, and i would like to send a message to all my followers on instructables. how can i do this? do I have to do it individualy, for each person? thanks,    The Poodleo
