I know, I think It should be stickied, but it's up to the moderators, not me!

Re: ITopic: The New User's Handbook

I have a bit of advice...

When you change your password, do not make it too long; ALWAYS make it something you can easily remember.  It is also a good idea to write it down if you forget things easily.

(Elaborate if needed)

rreeeeaallllyyyy important, you forgot popularity issues,
copy N' paste this:

Q: why are my projects never getting viewed, loved, or commented on?
A: its the popularity problem, newbs never get viewed for awhile, you have to first off post a link to your new project in show and tell, also as time goes on you should add people to your friends list, view other projects and comment on them, and be friendly, popularity isn't something that should be wanted, it will take time, so wanting it can only cause impatience, the main thing is to make good projects or fun projects

I wouldn't call them "newbs" because to most people, that is an insult.

Yep. I always like to include other people in my posts. I have two stickied posts. The New User's Handbook and the "Scratch Story" post.

Do you know their Scratch account names?  If you do, then you can just type their address into your browser like this:

scratch.mit.edu/users/(your friends Scratch account)

Once you get to their My Stuff page, then add them as a Friend.

Thanks! That means a lot, but it may consider the fact that we know eachother in real life?

There is no PM here.  Pretty much your only way to communicate with an individual is to leave a comment on one of their projects or galleries.

Re: ITopic: The New User's Handbook

Q: I want to improve on my projects. How do I know how everyone feels?
A: One, you could ask your family and friends to test your projects, or two, GET IN A CRITIQUE GROUP! See the "Critique groups!" tag for more. The "here" thing? Not saying...

Here's how to make invisible text:

Code:

[color=gainsboro]goes in front, while [/color] goes after the text.

Highlight to reveal.
Like so.
