Re: new forum blocks editor
Sounds good! Can you read a sprite's scripts and convert them? Or provide an external editor? I vote for reading a sprite's scripts. Magnie or nXIII might be able to help you out there.

i think we could read them through their project summaries he is one for a project with the deafault scratch can and then
when gf clicked broadcast [hi v] when gf clicked broadcast [hi v]Project:
Totals:
Sprites: 1
Stacks: 2
Unique costumes: 3
Unique sounds: 2
--------
Sprite: Stage
Costumes (1):
background1 (480x360)
Sounds (1):
pop (0:00:00)
No stacks.
--------
Sprite: Sprite1
Costumes (2):
costume1 (95x111)
costume2 (95x111)
Sounds (1):
meow (0:00:01)
Stacks (2):
when green flag clicked
broadcast "test"
end
when green flag clicked
broadcast "test"
end
-------

Re: new forum blocks editor
I imagine there is a possibility of reading a project summary and maybe converting the summary into Scratch Forum Blocks. I was also thinking of maybe a Javascript page where you could drag blocks and then the script will output a list of Scratch Forum Blocks "code" which you can also copy and paste into your post.
I may be able to make something in Python, but if we wanted to convert it directly from a Scratch Project, I would need someone to explain the Scratch Project format. 
This would be a very useful tool for people that don't want to upload their project, but still get help with it. I like the idea!

Re: new forum blocks editor
this is the output for magnie's hash:
when green flag clicked
set [alphabet" to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ]
ask [Hash Length] and wait
set [length] to (answer)
ask [Fast Hash? ((0)/(1))] and wait
set [fast] to (answer)
ask [Please enter a word or phrase without special letters or spaces.] and wait
set [result" to "]
set [n" to "(1)]
repeat (length of (answer))
set [i" to "(1)]
repeat until ((letter (n) of (answer)) = (letter (i) of (alphabet)))
change [i] by (1)
set [result" to (join (result) (item (i) of "binary] ))
change [n] by (1)
say (result)
delete [all" of "hash]
repeat (length)
add [(1)" to "hash]
set [n" to "(1)]
set [i" to "(1)]
if ((fast) = [(1)]) else
repeat (length of (result))
set [letter] to (letter (i) of (result))
if ((n) = [(1)]) else
set [letter" to ((letter) - (item "last" of "hash] ))
else
set [letter" to ((letter) - (item ((n) - (1)) of "hash] ))
replace item (n) of [hash] with ((letter) mod (9))
change [i] by (1)
set [n] to (((n) + (1)) mod (length))
say (hash)
else
repeat (length of [hash] )
set [i" to "(1)]
repeat (length of (result))
set [letter] to ((letter (i) of (result)) * (length of (result)))
if ((n) = [(1)]) else
set [letter" to ((letter) - (item "last" of "hash] ))
else
set [letter" to ((letter) - (item ((n) - (1)) of "hash] ))
replace item (n) of [hash] with ((letter) mod (9))
change [i] by (1)
set [n] to (((n) + (1)) mod (length))
say (hash)
end

notice the repeat else block
That's because of misformatted code:
if <(n)=[1]> blah else blah
Code:
<(n)=[1]> NOT ((n) = [1])

Re: new forum blocks editor
That's pretty interesting. Though, as you can probably see, there are some that need some fixing up. The quotes need to be turned into the [ and ]. The operators need to be switched to < and >. And that if-else needs to be fixed.
Hmm, what language is this coded in? Can you post the source?

Notice that there are two of "else"? It's not a normal IF or REPEAT block as I know it.
EDIT: Example with if block
if <(5) > (1)> blocks here . . . else moar blocks here . . . else what . . . a second else end

I have some Python code I've been meaning to upload that can read/write scratch .sprite files, and project files too, I think. It's written using the awesome Construct library, which is a must for something like this. My code is still a little funny about writing images embedded in the Scratch files, but I think it would work well enough for reading scripts. I must upload it sometime soon...
If you do decide to write your own, take a look at the wiki I made that collects a lot of info on the Scratch format in one place.
