Is Scratch 1.4 driving you mad? Well here's the right place to come.

Q.I'm having some problems uploading a project on the Scratch website. What do I do?

A.Ok first the most common reason is that you entered an invalid username and/or password. To solve that, try clicking the "Forgot your password?" button or logging back on again. Another popular reason is that it might be bigger than 10MB. Try again, this time checking the "Compress sounds and images' button, and if it still doesn't work try removing some of the files/images/sounds. Or, if it says the website is unavailable at present or something, maybe just wait a few hours. If it says "Unknown reason", then all I can advise you is that you need to try again.

Q.Scratch is annoying me by removing all the text and etc. etc. etc. What do I do?

A.Ok the best thing to do is save it as fast as possible and quit as fast as possible. Then, re-open Scratch, and type all the text back in again.

Q.I can't seem to download any other people's projects. How do I solve it?

A.Ok the only thing I can advise you is use another computer. Or, save it, and open Scratch, then open that project.

Q.Scratch 1.4 doesn't have a block that I would like it to have. How do I get blocks?

A.Ok here are some tutorials I found which will help you understand getting new blocks. Here they are:
(pi): http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/TheoMarr/614893
[point to x: [] y: []]: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/TheoMarr/613160
[open web page []]: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/billyedward/487399
<if <> then <> else <> >: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/billyedward/381051
[flip]: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Jens/75626
Me, billyedward, Jens and a few others make tutorials on how to make specific blocks.

Q.I still don't have the blocks I want, how can I do it?

A.Well I'm sorry but I'm not a moderator so I don't get to join the MIT and choose what Scratch 1.5 has. So, I'm afraid, if you are not a moderator then the only way to solve it is make your own version of Scratch(Like I did).

I hope this info helps you new Scratch members!

Better solution:

Save, close. Open your project, save it, and then save it again. All text should reappear.  smile

*Scratch 2.0


There are 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand trinary, those who don't, and those who think this is the same old signature.
Three lines! (and base three!)

That's because you didn't change the folder name, so the folder was overwritten. It's not scratch's fault, this'll happen with this kind of download unless you move the folder or something.
