This is a newer, cleaned up version of this topic. Please do not report glitches with Scratch in this topic. Your post will be removed. Instead, make a new topic. Also, keep to the topic of the forum. This includes suggestions, questions and problems with scripts. Problems with scripts should be moved to the help with scripts forum. Anything offtopic will be reported to be moved.

We've found glitches somewhere in Scratch, right?
Right?

The point is, you should have. Before reporting a bug, clear your cache to see if your issue is a caching issue. If it's fixed, stop here. Your bug was down to your cache. The first thing you want to do is make a new topic. Alternatively, you can hit the blue button in the corner of the Bugs and Glitches (BaG) forum that says new topic.

For a subject, summarise your glitch in a few words. In my example, I'm going to use “Character limit stays red if limit hit after comment posted”. Yes it's jank. Yes it's being fixed, but hey. Why not?

In the main topic, you want to include the following things:
A bug description
When it started
Where it is
A link (if it's in a specific project, link to it)
Reproduction steps
Expected result
Actual result
Operating system, browser and Flash version (should be already there. if not, click the globe icon in the tools bar above the topic itself)
Screenshot (even better if you record a GIF. I recommend using ScreenToGif)

Trying to be as descriptive as possible will help a lot.

So what if there's a topic to reply to?
Glad you asked. Preferably, there are these codes you should follow. They're the way to reply to a bug.

NAB - Not a bug - Used if the topic is not on the topic of the forum or if the “bug” is intended.
Dupe - Duplicate - There's another topic. Preferably link to it.
Known - Does what it says on the tin - This is different to Dupe. This means the Scratch team knows (with reference) about the bug.
CNR - Cannot reproduce - Include your system specifications.
CR - Can reproduce - Include your system specifications.
LOI - Lack of information - Asks the person to provide more information about the bug. Tell them what is missing and to include it.

Please include as much information as possible. The more information you provide, the more helpful it is to everyone.

Since this topic is far from perfect, reply to this if you have a suggestion, need help or have a question.

Nice! I might add, that if you find a recent (no more than a day or two old) existing topic describing the same problem, there is no need to make a new topic. Just add a post to the existing topic.

Thanks for making this

Please don't quote the original post.

Anyway, use snipping tool to snip a portion of (or the whole) screen. Save it, then upload it to cubeupload. From there, use [img]link[/img] to send your image.

Ha!

It's a feature built into Windows.

When I reported a bug, using this guide, I made sure to give credit. Great guide! I never would have reported the bug as well as I did without this! Thanks!

You should get a response from at least someone. I'm trying to make time for activity.

Here is an different way for recording a gif + other instructions:
On windows you can press windows+G, then press ‘start recording’. You can also use video editing programs to record. When you have recorded a video, you can use giphy or ezgif to upload your video and make a gif. When you have made a gif you can use imageshack, cubeupload, @World_Languages animated thumbnail set for a project or a studio to upload the gif. Then use the image url for the image. (Right click on the image you want and click copy image address, press ctrl+v or cmd+v to paste)
And you're done! I'm using this myself too.

You're just better off using CloudConvert.

I did the same thing here too!

I've found a nice trick for the browser/operating system:
When flash is disabled or blocked, it looks like this (a example):
My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Chrome 79.0.3945.117, No Flash version detected
But when flash is enabled and scratch has permission, it looks like this:
My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Chrome 79.0.3945.117, Flash 32.0 (release 0)
So it shows your flash version when flash is enabled and when scratch has permission to flash
