Cookies needed to log in?
I couldn't log in while I had my cookies turned off. I set them back on and it let me log in. Does this mean you need to have your computer's cookies turned on to log in? If you have problems logging in, you might want to try turning on cookies. 
Front Page: A goal I will never reach. The life of the unnoticed scratcher is sad indeed.
Let's hope the system improves.

I think you are correct that cookies are used in the log in process. But I'm not positive. Anybody know for sure?

What even are cookies?
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
