upload projects over 10 mb

yeah! that's much better now, ST 

Not sure all what. But for sure cloning and a better interface.

The mock-ups look very interesting! Search is one of the most important things on the web...

One thing I dislike about this second mockup however is that it appears that you can immediately play the top searched result from the search engine. This brings up some questions. Will that search then count as a view for that project? That would be pretty unfair if you ask me. Even then, won't this make it less likely that the person will click on the link, if they can just play the project right there? I personally think adding thumbnail images next to the search results would be very useful (I believe there is a chrome extension that does that for google), however including the flash-player is not needed.

...should there be an advanced search? I think yes...

+1. I don't think that it should count as a view as well. And I think thumbnail images would be better instead of previews, simply because Scratch has such a wide variety of Scratch projects that one type of preview wouldn't cooperate with other projects as well as others. I also don't see how a preview for a game could work, or any other projects with a lot of broadcast blocks, as they cue things on demand. The only way a preview for a game could work is if it just stopped at a certain time.

Does that make sense?

Also the tool to hide the mouse cursor would be good and some tool so you can make it that when a bullet for example hits an enemy, his health decreases once everytime he's hit, not like now when it decreases health as long as it goes through enemy

I don't think you need a specific tool, necessarily, but just need to do some coding for it.

However, I do think the hiding the cursor would be a good idea, especially for shooter games and the like.

Just to clarify: This topic isn't for suggesting stuff. It's for discussing a new method of searching in Scratch 2.0. 

.........not that I'm aware of..........

Is there gonna be a scratch 2.0?

Yes, probably in May or so.

scratch search = google image search, maybe.
it would need a lot of work.
WHEN YOU SEARCH DISPLAY A THUMBNAIL BESIDE THE SEARCH RESULTS, (for an example check out the google chrome extension called 'search Preview")
also, ditch the chrome Theme. nobody likes chrome keep with the blue theme already here.

This may be irrelevant but i only friend people on the site in order to follow them and have quick access to their newest projects. I think, like youtube people could subscribe to or follow your recent activity as well as/or instead of friend you.

Take an idea from facebook and twitter and stick to the roots of the site, remodel the homepage and everyone is happy.

I would like to be able to take out a single block from a chain of blocks. Also, I would like to have a higher resolution so it is possible to make better looking games, and of course, for it to run faster!

Very Nice ideas! I like them!
