A question about the forum.

How do some people make neat blocks? I was just wandering...

Re: A question about the forum.

Are you talking about scripts in people's posts that look just like they do in the Scratch program? They're not using the forum blocks - they take a picture of a script in the Scratch program, edit out the background so it looks good, upload the image to an image-hosting site, and post the picture's url with image BBCode tags.

You post pictures with this BBCode: [img](url of picture goes here)[/img]

Any questions?

You can use forum blocks, but they look horrid, and I think you don't want that...

[blocks][/blocks]It's sort of weird how everyone forgets to use the BBCode for forum blocks ([blocks] and [/blocks]). xD

Re: A question about the forum.

Hello everybody, I am a grammar police officer and a spelling police officer. I am here to announce that you, who needs more laziness, officially have 1 grammar and 1 spelling mistake. Your grammar mistake is in the title - you have a full stop at the end although the content before is not a sentence. Your spelling mistake is "wandering" - I think you were sitting in your chair typing at that time. Dr Deadpebble presumes you mean "wondering".

Thank you very mochi for that question, I was a bit curious about that too, because the blocks looked quite pixellated (like with normal blocks that come with the post editing area).

Look. Isn't this ugly?

This one is much better.

And these are some ways to add Scratch blocks to your post.

Re: A question about the forum.

I wanted to try it out, but, sadly, "New Scratchers" (not me, I only joined a few weeks ago but was using Scratch way before that) can't.

Any questions?

Or use the "save picture of scripts" option in the right click menu. Then they don't have to edit out the background.

I heard that if you post a lot, you might get it in about a month.
