We just pushed lots of backend changes, and a we brought our new server online!

* Sped up a bunch of pages on the site, like profile, view all projects, and more!
* Added a whole new server to help cope with the increasing traffic. w00t!
* Lots of other backend optimizations to make things run a bit smoother.

Sorry not a lot of new features - we're still focused on stability, and handling the increasing traffic. Once we get a handle on that, we'll be moving forward with changes to studios, and bug fixes.

Some of you have noticed that the fullscreen button is disabled - that's temporary. We'll get it back on soon!

Edit: This was fixed shortly after this post was made, last night.

Yay! when are cloud lists coming?

Great! I was thinking that servers might need to be added into the equation soon, and it looks like it just has. I'm also glad for the extra speed.

Good job with the update!

Nice,

Yay, updates!

Just now I noticed a speed boost in page loading! Great job!

A new server? :3 Wow, this is getting better!

Still awaiting cloud lists…

At least no one fights over first post this time.

Yay, new server!

Uh, Lightnin…

The “project carousel” on project pages is showing projects in the order they were shared; originally, they were in the order of when they got updated…

Did you change this or is this a bug?

Yay! Increased speed!

Now that I think about it, I like how the Scratch Team is making more little updates and not big ones like 2.0. Just like I suggested!

I thought I saw that…

Great updates!

yay for updates! w00t w00t!

We need to fix a bug where lists get out of place when showing / hiding them!

YAY! New update!

Cool, new servers

YAY!

Guys, I found a bug, when you have a new block with a forever loop inside it, and for example, you make a new script that when you click the green flag it activates the block the forever loop that is inside the block doesn't work, you have to make another forever loop to run the function

Sorry for the grammar errors up there and the double post now, but I don't think you can edit posts here
It's always good to have optimizations Could you guys bring some improvements for the fullscreen system when it comes back? It would also be cool to have more support to svg files, or any vector format supported by illustrator Whenever you put an svg with transparent background, the background turns magenta. Cloud Lists and true/false operators would be good :p It probably uses more resources to check if a condition like 1=1 is true then simply using a true/false operator.

Cloud Lists….

According to sdg1, strings are coming first. Remember, patience (after all, Scratch 2.0 came out over 2 years after the planned date).
