What is the Obsolete block for?

What is it for and how do you get it? I can't put it on my projects because I can't find it.

It does absolutely nothing; it's obsolete. You shouldn't even bother with it  smile

actually it can be used to detect if a project is being used in flash or in offline mode. you can get it by downloading a mod (that runs and saves in .sb  file format) then put a block that doesn't exist in scratch. Then save it. Finally open the file that you saved in scratch and the block that didn't exist in scratch will become an  obsolete block.

Well there's no application other than online/offline sensing really, and most people won't need/know how to do that,

It's possible to sense on/offline (and it won't matter with 2.0 anyways) without the obsolete block, and the obsolete block is completely... well, obsolete.
