I'm an American, so it doesn't affect me. But I think they should add more support for extra symbols… I wonder if the dollar sign works?
EDIT: $ works in text. So now we need the pound sign as well as the funny symbol they use for Pokedollars in the Pokemon games.

Thanks for the ride, Scratch Team and community! Unfortunately, the time has come for me to move on from Scratch, so I'll no longer be using the forums. Thanks again, and farewell!
Invisible text! This will show you if a profile I claim to be mine IS mine. Just remember to visit the profile and see if I confirmed in the comments.

And no, the evil kumquats didn't alter my signature…

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

For me, that doesn't happen- because it won't let me insert or paste special characters into the text at all!
