How do I change my profile picture?
Go to your profile and hover over the cat. Click change and select your picture.

Also note that Scratch supports .gif (animation) files, but they temporarily do not work (are frozen.)

That was helpful, Thank you.

I am new to Scratch and tried to figure out how to search the discussion forums.

The intuitive way - go to discuss and click search - does not work. The thread opener explained that this does not work (for whatever reason), that this has been explained in the sticky FAQ thread and how to search using Google.

Unfortunately, there is no “how to search the discussion forums” question in the FAQ. Even though it might be somewhere hidden under a different question I can understand people don't find anything. Appreciate any guidance on where to find the answer to the question.

While I appreciate this new thread explaining the workaround I still don't get if this is just a temporary issue (bcs the search function broke somehow) or if this is how it is intended to be. If the latter is true I strongly advocate to rethink this approach.

In developing software we want to focus also on user experience and usability. While using Google might work it is simply not the intuitive way anybody knows who uses discussion forums all over the Internet. Hence, I strongly advocate to rethink this approach. Especially a discussion forum which is dedicated to developing software for younger students should be kind of a role model.

This is a temporary issue at the moment (Scratch Wiki). The Scratch Team has stated that they plan to add functionality to the search bar. But like I said, I am not sure when this will be fixed.

Thanks for mentioning the issue, though. I do think that the current workaround isn't very practical on a kids website.

Um, that's a bit of an odd request.

I'm not exactly sure why that would happen. It could be true that it may take a while to cache your studio. Otherwise, it may be helpful to ask a question here- https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/4/topic/add/ (not many people reply to this topic anyways…

click on something like requests and other and you can start a new topic.

Save the Internet. This time, Europeans are the ones who will get hit.
The European Union is implementing a law, Article 13, that is not just very vague, but very, very (I mean it) restricting. DanTDM, don't blame me (blame the European Union) if you're banned from playing your Nintendo DS on camera unless you pay Nintendo a certain amount of money, however much they decide. (Yes, the new laws will allow that!) Don't force me to overwork my mouth and make me say all the possible loopholes (the previous one wasn't even a loophole, by the way) with Article 13.

Copy and paste this and put it in your signature to save Europeans.

I've had this question a long time, but didn't know how to ask it!
