I'm usually offline for most of it too, I logged in this morining an there was an entire new page (i have mine set shorter) of new stuff. this is the 28th page on my screen, and probably the biggest in "advanced topics"!

Actualy the old Emerald Thread was 48 pages long, but we had it cloed and moved to the proper forums. http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=22543

post 730! and hi Sparks. but this is smal compared to the Emerald Thread. 46 pages and 1128 posts!

oh well then, we'd better start posting a lot of seemingly relevant but actually quite uncessary messages!

p.s, get the message about pswd change?

Yes, i got it, but i still managed to login with the old one. Has it changed now?

Wow... this webite is getting a whole load more views than my companys website... im lucky to get two or thre a day, you're getting over a hundred!

I know, I was surprised too, I guess Panther is appealing to a large audience. hmm, I changed the password but someone changed it back or there was a problem, that's the second time now!

Ill log out then log back in again with the newpassword and see if it works.
Ok, its working with the new password.

156 visits yesterday, 88 individual veiwers!

How did we get 39 unique views on the panthertalk website?!

I thought of something while looking at the source code:

I found an old hat block and for some things I thought it might be useful. The block is:
('When' #W #-) OR ('When W -)<-(for source code users). It displays "When <> is true"

I am adding this in my 'Roar' and I thought you might like to know about it to. I don't think anybodys ever mentioned anything about this block before! 

nXIII, please read this! why does the (contents of file [ ]) not read a webpage if the path to the page is given, and how easy would it be to change it so it do so? I was thinking that would let us (for example) release a project that reads text from the Panther site so that people can hear the latest news and updates through the Scratch project! it would notify changes as well as naming featured projects, people, news and suchlike. It would also let projects read weather, news and other info off pages for use in project manipulation!^_^

EDIT: There would be no risk of a virus download seeing as it is only reading text, and not connecting in any other way to the internet, and it would be extremely useful.

Hello. All those views you got yesterday were probably my doing. I went looking around on that site a whole lot! I wanted to know if perhaps I could join? I am just a beginning squeak hacker but I have made a few blocks in my time. Thank You

Thank you for your interest, and we are glad that you like the idea of Panther, but we have agreed that we have enough developers at the moment. Feel free to contribute code and such if you'd like to be listed under contributors Apologies, Sparks

Are you going to use it though?

Dunno, it would be useful, I'm sure, and even if it wasn't used, I've never EVER used the "forever if" block, so it might as well be there. nXIII's putting the blocks in, so I'll try and grab his attention and see what NXIII thinks.

Ha Ha Ha, Lol! Ill try...

Anyway, I tried using Panther just now and under control there was a <{broadcast] is broadcasted?> block. I changed catagories and then went back to control - it had dissapeared - and I couldn't find it in the source code either!!! Whants going on here? (I'm using the 1.0 Beta posted earlier in this thread)

Any ideas?

EDIT:: cos your using [/purple]!!! USe [/colour]!

... ooooohhhhhh yeeaaahhhh... how did I do that? I write in purple every post!    lol

aanyway...

I have no idea about that. I know that nXIII said something about that block not working because of the nature of the broadcasts, so maybe you caught a glimpse of the mutated offspring of his mad experiments...

We're talking about unique users, not page hits.
And We're actualy full, but you will still be credited if you supply block codes, though classed as a contributer.

which is what I said... different words. 

btw, does anyone know if the BB code ([ color] stuff) works on project comments?

BBcode works on forums only.

Post 750!
