Mysterious Username

My username is having a weird problem.  Whenever I post a game, I cannot find it, even if I search it by name.  The same thing is happening with my username.

Re: Mysterious Username

Weird, when I search your username, the first result is your profile.

When you post a game, it could be a few hours before it actually gets "indexed". Have you tried looking for an older project?


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Try tagging your projects with your username.

Re: Mysterious Username

I think I know what's happening. The projects with lots of views appear there. Projects with a few views don't work. That's the part I hate about scratch search. It is a huge pain finding my old projects.  mad

Re: Mysterious Username

It's a Google enabled search, so if Google doesn't have a lot of hits for your projects, then they probably won't show up. It really can be annoying, but that's how it is. Sorry  sad
