Classes:

What is a Bump?
Question asked by Haiming

A bump is a post that brings your post up to the top of the that forums. Some people have figured out that Bump actually means this:
Bump
up
my
post
This is one of the most common posts by Scratchers.


Why can't I edit a post?
Question asked by gamesman12

As you can see, New Scratchers cannot edit/delete there posts. They can't also add signatures, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Also, non-registered/non-logged in people can't edit/delete there posts.


Why can't I post a message in the FAQ or Announcements forums?
Question asked by andresmh

Course 1
Announcements Forums
No scratcher nor new scratcher can post in the Announcements forums. Most of these posts are by Admins or ST members. Though only two people that are not ST members or admins have posted in this forum, mletreat, when she was handing out t-shirts with the scratch logo on them. Also, joletole posted in this forum when he was announcing that the ST has changed any mention of pi to 3.14159265... (March 14).

Course 2
FAQ
This forum is mostly questions from normal Scratchers, so you are probably wondering, "Why can't I post in this forums." Well wonder no more, only admins or ST members can move/post stuff in the FAQ section. Now, you are probably also wondering why your post hasn't been moved there. Well these questions are only questions that are very common. Or aka Frequently Asked Questions.


How do I add friends?
Question asked by berryyogurt

This question is very simple, but one of the most common questions. You simply go to there my stuff page (http://scratch.mit.edu/users/USERNAMEHERE/). Then go right under where there name is and you will see a link that says this: "Add to Friends." Click this and you will see another message saying this: USERNAMEHERE will be notified. Okay." What a lot of New Scratchers do is they go around making friends with people they don't evan know. This can annoy a lot of people.

Other Building

This building holds stuff that doesn't quite fit into the other categories.

Classes:
- ITopic: Welcome to Your Local Block Library
- Adding images back into your experience, now with videos.
- ITopic: Build Your Own Blocks (BYOB)


ITopic: Welcome to Your Local Block Library
Created by Sparks

This topic is probably one of the most important topic of the entire Scratch Community. This block library holds up to more then 350 blocks. All created by YOU. It holds three main sections, the Scratch Blocks section. The BYOB Blocks section, and the Panther Blocks section. To be exact, the Scratch Blocks section has over 167 blocks, the BYOB section has over 143 blocks, and 60 blocks in the Panther section.

This topic is much different then most topics. It is split up. You can just keep clicking links and it will never stop. Also, there are other Librarians too. Such as SSBBM, Pecola1, Scimonster, Meowmeow55, Greenactic, and the company account. What is very odd about this company is that they all know the password for the company account. Some people wonder how they shared the password together without anybody noticing. And also, some people wonder that one of the Librarians might turn on the company and destroy everything they have done, and post spam everywhere.

The only way to browse the Block Library is too download Rookwood101 Antidote Script. Or else the topic looks like a bunch of word and links. And also, you can get to where you want very quickly, because every post has too links on the bottom, one saying this:
^Back to [section] Blocks
And one saying this:
^Back to Contents
Also, all the sections say this on the bottom of the page:
^Home

Here are some blocks that are on the library:

Adding images back into your experience, now with videos!
Created by Rookwood101

A lot of people use this. It even has it's own name, The Antidote Script. Due to spam and troll attacks, the ST had to disable the img tags. Nobody was really happy about this, as almost everyone used img tags.

A little while after that Rookwood101 secretly made a thread that would make the images come back to life. He wanted to keep it secret or else the ST would disable that. Though, the ST never did anything about. Everybody was shocked. Though what a lot of people are scared of is somebody is going to use the Antidote Script to spam. Then rookwood101 would get in trouble.

This topic has come to be a very good and useful topic.

ITopic: Build Your Own Blocks (BYOB)
Created by Jens

BYOB was a software created by Jens. This is what she/he said on the beginning of here post:

"So, you want to define your own procedures and functions in Scratch?"

And that is exactly what she/he did. The whole point of BYOB is so you can create you very own block(s) and use them in the Scratch Programming Language. Lucario621 has created a discussion thread about it. The discussion thread has had over 5,000 replies.

Even I use BYOB. Though the BYOB "team" has come up with BYOB3!

cool,
I think this will be very helpful to new scratchers that are always asking questions 

when gf clicked
set [player v] to [development]
go to x: (0) y: (1000)
if  <((y position) + (1)) > [242]>
   set [player v] to [experimental]
end
if  <((y position) + (1)) > [242.99]>
   set [player v] to [Web site]
end
go to  x: (-177) y: (-112)

Wow, you put a lot of work into this! It looks great!

have you just copied and pasted information from the real threads? i thought this would be more about teaching how to program, not answering questions already answered on various threads. I learnt how to screen record and convert it to JPG for this (saves every 10 frames), but I guess you won't be needing that any-more.

No, and also look at the Scratch Building. This is sort of a FAQ but for questions that are not in the FAQ (with some exceptions).
