You would type the rest of the URL into the block, then when the person clicks on it, they are sent to that project.
I support!
Hmmmm...
Problemo numero one: Then someone could make a project that makes a project pop up to get it on top viewed.
Problemo numero two: What if the computer doesn't have an internet browser?
Odd... the first "Problemo" is a word, but the second on isn't according to spell check...

Problemo number one: Then maybe it wouldn't count towards views?
Promblemo numero two: Every computer comes preinstalled with an internet browser. If it doesn't have an internet connection, then the browser will just open up an fail.

1: Then enough people would have to view that project so that IT would get top viewed.
2: An error message would come up or something.

This would be great!
Also one for... like... the Scratch Wiki!
Well, maybe you could put a link in the project to a forum post about the Scratch Wiki.

What happens when you go to the website? Does it just open up a web browser?
Probably.
Also, in response to the instant virus, make it so that it can't lead to a download. Remember, Scratch has 100% control over this world!

Re: Safe Links in Scratch
Why would you use it though . . . I'd want the ability to draw content from webpages, but that could result in unsafe interactions.
I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

Drawing content from webpages would be great. I think fullmoon made a topic which allowed more website interactions instead of just cherry-picked ones like Facebook and Twitter. More of those interactions would mean a lot more connectivity and flexibility in the program.

How do you mean?
Using the block to open up a project that has inappropriate content.
I don't support - it could be used with the above reason, it could be used to cheat your way to Top Viewed (as BWOG pointed out), and I don't see any use for the block.

Re: Safe Links in Scratch
Same. The cloud can be dangerous... and although website interactions might benefit Scratch, I deny this, for the cons outweigh the pros.

Re: Safe Links in Scratch
Sorry, but I don't support... the possibility of dangerous links is really big in my opinion.

Really? Even if you can only link to projects on the Scratch website?
I'm sorry, but I don't agree with you - there's no possible way this could be harmful.

Someone might hack the block to make it a dangerous link.
