Make Forum Blocks look more like Wiki Blocks
I was looking at a Scratch Wiki article that is a scripting tutorial and I noticed that the text in the blocks is selectable, and they look so professional compared to forum blocks. There must be a system that the Scratch Wiki uses to draw these blocks.
People have been suggesting better forum blocks for a while now, but I haven't seen any posts that talk about these Wiki Blocks.
So here is my suggestion: Use the Wiki Blocks system for Forum Blocks.
Please tell me what you think of it!

P.S. At some point, I might post this on the Scratch Suggestions site.

It will be coming to the fora soon, as soon as it's almost bug-free!

Re: Make Forum Blocks look more like Wiki Blocks
The Block Plugin is what you were seeing. The Block Plugin is a plugin for the Scratch Forums(Coming Soon!) and Scratch Wiki, made by JSO, that allows script images to be constructed through text that is parsed and rendered. It is currently in a beta stage, and only available on the wiki. It was designed to replace using images, and also the forum blocks. You can see a list of the bugs here. You can also play with the beta version here. When all of the bugs are fixed, this will be made into a forum extension to replace Scratch Blocks.
