Updates! 15 October: More optimizations

Lucario621

Nice new statistics pages! Too bad poor ol' New Zealand isn't shown on the map because it's cut-off. I guess the Scratch Team hasn't heard of the place before?

So, according to you, I don't exist?

I want to exist! Why?

Greetings all!

Here are this weeks' updates:
- Cleaned up queries on the Explore page. It should now be faster, especially the month-gallery view.
- Changes to the way icon images get resized, to ease strain on one of our servers.
- Cloud data: Cloud data now works in embedded projects. However, you need to be logged in to the Scratch site to have it work.
- New statistics page: http://scratch.mit.edu/statistics/
- Featured project on profile page is now an image with a link to the project, instead of a small project player. This saves resources, and makes the profile page faster to load.

Scratch On!

The statistics are REALLY cool!

It seems like when the comments, after you click from your notifications, takes a LONG time to load, but is faster if you just go to the project, or profile, and just scroll down.

Yeah, some bad troubles yesterday. So far today things seem to be better speed wise, and we're working on the issue. It's not from the updates though, it's mostly traffic and other optimizations we still need to do.

Nice! I do have one complaint, though: On the statistics page, if you want a small country such as Singapore, you just can't get it. Maybe a zoom button…?

You should make scratch more easy, because i don't really make good projects. Oh and the backpack can you make pockets like
have it organized too, by right click then i'll say pocket then you click on it will have a name, then you name it then you can have projects on it!

We all didn't begin as experts; it takes time to get really familiar with any computer application.

True true.

What does “active” mean?

Somethings wrong with my unshared projects, they won't load. Only shared projects load

I'll probably post a better description in the bugs and glitches forum.

Yes, my sister teached me the basics of Scratch, but the rest I had to figure out myself, which took about 1 year, and to learn the new scripts in Scratch 1.4 took another year and the new scripts in Scratch 2.0 took a half year to learn.

Seriously, I'd rather have no featured project at all than just… a thumbnail!

Well, here's what Lightnin said about that:

Sweet! But that's too bad about the featured project thing.

Don't worry - our plan, once we have time, is to bring it back as a dialog box. i.e. When you click the featured project, instead of going to the project page, it'll pop up a (regular project player sized) box and start playing the project immediately. It's just that that requires a few other changes first.

It's okay, fullscreen will only be down for a short while.

Can you please do the download again! But no virus.
