"Help with projects" forum
This forum is used frequently as a place for people to share about projects, ask hyelp for projects etc.
Currently the scratch forums don't have a correct forum to post "project related topics":

Scratch @ MIT Conference 2008
Talk about the conference
Sensor Boards
topics relating to Scratch Boards, PicoBoards, and Scratch sensing and responding to things happening in the world around it.
Inspiration and more
Ideas and discussions inspired by Scratch or that could inspire future projects. Use this forum if you are not certain if the topic is directly related to Scratch.
Problems with the creation process of projects are usually posted in all about Scratch (should be basic questions about the scratch interface etc) or troubleshooting (should be bug reports, problems when using scratch or the website etc). This is kind of messing up everything.
We've all seen that, now we have the "New Scratch Users" and "Inspiration and more" forums, the show and tell forum is used correctly. There are only posts to show and tell projects 
I think a "Help with projects" forum would be helpful. The description could be something like "Need help with the creation of your project? Post here!" but if it would be added the difference between Troubleshooting and Help with projects should be explained.
What do you think?

Re: "Help with projects" forum
Yes! This would make it more clear to new users where to ask for help.
Also get rid of the conference forum.

Re: "Help with projects" forum
I agree. There should be separate forums for reporting project problems and suspected bugs with the software or the web. It would make it easier for the Team to know when people are experiencing systemic problems; those would be under Troubleshooting. This is a great idea!
The name "Help with Projects" is good too...it's very clear what it is intended for.
