Tutorials Forum

NOTE: I am talking about written tutorials, not scratch projects.

I would like to suggest a tutorials forum here. It would be a great convenience to new scratch members. I think they should have their own section, because they don't belong the best in New Members or Misc.

The forum doesn't just need to be used for scratch either. Many scratchers share interests, such as other programming tools, paint programs, etc. So I think that scratchers could help each other with the programs. You may think this seems like the Troubleshooting forum, but the Tutorials section would just have simple walkthroughs, that explain basics, secrets, tricks, or tips in any given program.  smile

Thanks for reading,

Re: Tutorials Forum

Sounds like a good idea, as I've made several tutorials.

Re: Tutorials Forum

I WANT THE TUTORIAL FORUM!!!  yikes   big_smile   smile

Imagine all the guides Chrischb and I could write...  wink

None of the tutorials should be stickied though... I was thinking about having popular things (like scrolling) stickied, but that's a bit unfair - instead, there could be a topic giving links (like some of the stickies in All About Scratch).

Re: Tutorials Forum

And the Guide Bros. strike again.  lol

Seriously, I'd like the tutorials forum idea to be implemented.

Re: Tutorials Forum

They could replace "Most remixed projects" With it!

Re: Tutorials Forum

Greenboi's suggestion is for the forums, not with projects...

...though I'd rather have tutorials be shown there than the latest remix chains.

Re: Tutorials Forum

I support this, not just new users, not all old users (Me included) aren't that advanced in certain areas, im rubbish in multidirectional sensing for a start.

But how many threads would there be? Eventually there would be many guides on how to scroll, perform velocity, and so on - it could get messy.
Then stickying some threads might come in handy, but a few probably already exist in the FAQ forum.  hmm

But it would be easier to have them all in one place, insted here, there and everywhere.

Re: Tutorials Forum

Sorry for not seeing this sooner - It's been a busy week this week.
I like this idea... But we have a lot of forums already, so I'm a little hesitant to propose a new one. How about making some guides / tutorials first in the FAQ forum? We can see how it goes, and maybe rename FAQ or create a new forum for Tutorials.

Hmm... that makes me think. How about replacing FAQ with Tutorials? If we have the Tutorials forum, FAQ won't be that neccessary...

Re: Tutorials Forum

Nobody seems to read the FAQ, so renaming it might help.  smile
But only those with moderator powers can post threads there...  sad
