Shame this is the last day of Victoria school holidays…now there will be a tiny bit more traffic.

I'm a CDR! Born under CONSes!

* Faster (and more efficient!) comment loading on all pages
* More stuff is cached! (That's a fancy way of saying: we're keeping stuff in our server's memory instead of reading it from the disk.)
* Project views are now shown on the explore page
* Bunches of little speedups in the backend

Even with these optimizations, the site is carrying a lot of traffic these days - especially during the week when schools are actively using it. So we're going to keep focusing on speed and glitches over the next few weeks.

Scratch On!

aww, search is still laggy

i wouldn't mind a ~3hr forum downtime to make a search index or something.

That might be worth it. Meanwhile, have you tried using google search by site? (Forgot if you can specify a sub-folder - in this case /discuss - but if so, it should be helpful.)

I see that you are speeding up scratch. Thats great!

I've noticed though on paint editor I would like just a few more pixels. Also, I kind of think it's strange to have a rectangular board to work with. You should make an option to make it square. Back to the topic. I think there should be an option to make it faster or slower depending on the project. Sometimes it's to fast or not fast enough. This would replace turbo mode.

Do it!!! Put the songs in a project, and then share a link.

Nope, scratch is too epic for crashing!

Yoss. Scratch is much too epic.

I hope you don't mind if I point out a complaint about the update here:

I can't say that I've noticed that the speed of the program has gotten faster (most likely because my computer is quite new, heh), but what I have noticed that I can no longer draw on the backgrounds, frames, anything.
I have a Microsoft Surface Pro, and I can't seem to be able to draw on the program with the touchscreen. It used to be just fine, but after I updated it, it just stopped working.
Perhaps you might be able to fix this in future updates?
That's all I know for now.

Thank you for taking your time to read this~ c;

Can't wait until the little-better Scratch!

Never mind this was like a week ago was looking at the wrong one…

Any news on Educator Accounts?? Our after school coding classes are starting and the students don't have email addresses to create their accounts.

Help!

I have noticed things being a little speedier…
