Re: Help Us Welcome new users

Great idea. I remember when i first started I was quite lost and confused. This should help people find a path and follow it.

Re: Help Us Welcome new users

Maybe you should post a link to it in the "about" page? or on the front page or something, it might be hard for some users to find it.

Or sticky it on all topics - I think Paddle2See was the first to suggest this.

Re: Help Us Welcome new users

Perhaps even make it a forum, i.e. "New Users"

Re: Help Us Welcome new users

Wow! Both of my new forum ideas kind of worked!
1) I came up with the idea for the whole forum for new users
and
2) I helped come up with the idea for the inspiration forum...

This makes me feel so proud (but I'm not saying I came up with the ideas)

Cool Emily! It took me awhile to get started. This would have been nice! lol  wink


Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback.                              http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201
