Projects and me not showing up!!!!

Ok, when i upload a project, it doesnt show up in the "newest" section, and when my friends try to see it, they search the EXACT name, and it doesnt come up! The only way for them to see it is if i give them the link! Plus, even my user page with my projects and info and all that cant be searched either!! Why is this and how can i fix it?

Re: Projects and me not showing up!!!!

Hey Buttermissle, not all projects may show up on the 'Newest' channel on the front page, or it could have been that it did show up in the channel and you have missed it.

I'm assuming your friends have been using the custom Google searchbox on the Scratch website to search for your project: newly uploaded projects will not be found through a Google search right away - it may take hours, days, or even months before Google is able to index the page and it shows up in a Google search. The same goes for the profile page of new users.

For now, you can just give links to your friends to your project pages and your profile page  smile

I'm pretty sure the search is updated daily, but I may be wrong.

Anyways, Cheddargirl is right. It won't show up on Search right away, and neither will you.

I saw your project in the Newest Projects though.

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Oh! That's very interesting. The same thing used to happen to me.
