What About Alerts?

Thanks for the question about alerts :] We currently are hiding all past alerts. If you receive a new alert, it will show up in your news feed. You can then dismiss that alert forever.

We may slightly change this in the coming weeks or months.

I love the new messages page!!

It is so much easier for me to organize what (little) mail I get xD
The only thing is that, for instance, I had 3 new messages today, but the button wouldn't acknowledge that I had read them already, and it took me three tries to get the notification to disappear. I understand that you are still working out the glitches though!

when green flag clicked
say [I love it!] for (2) secs
think [<3] for (2) secs

Yeah the FP Link is broken.

I always have so many typos…. Sorry about that. I fixed the link and it should be working in a few minutes.

Super cool update ! Obviously people will #BringItBack again, but I think this update is cool. Mostly this filter feature thing ^^

Btw I don't understand, I just heard the studio activity was gone ? This wouldn't be bad, but not good either. (look at the beginning)

EXACTLY!

There already is! The icon beside the message showing if it's a comment or something else is bluer if it's a new comment.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one experiencing this, but on the front page and the messages page it still will show that you have messages even after you open the messages page, but when anywhere else it will show you don't have any.

Note: it seems to be fixed now…

Hey everyone,

We wanted to share with you several exciting updates to the "Messages“ page.

We've made a number of changes to the design of the Messages page. You'll notice it's easier to see the complete content of a message, filter messages, and… *drum roll* the page works beautifully on mobile devices. Cool, right?!

But, perhaps the biggest news is what the developers have done behind the scenes. They have completely reimagined how ”social actions" on Scratch are stored in our database. A social action is information about when you share a project, make a comment, love a project, etc. We deal with literally millions of social actions per day, so figuring out a way to store and manage them is no small feat. We're happy to report the developers redesigned the system to perform way, way, way faster!

We hope you like the changes and appreciate all the hard work from the Scratch developers and design team.

As with any update to the website, we expect you may run into a bug or glitch. We kindly ask you report those issues in the Bugs & Glitches forum.

Cheers,
Speak

I noticed that Scratch was down for three hours last night but those three hours are worth it because the updated messages page looks AWESOME!!!

This looks like rubbish… It was known that I can't see the comments or alerts in the new messages. So the Scratch Team will you please restore the old look of messages foe me?

Yeah, I miss the studio messages ;v; I sorta wish it wasn't so bulky tho, it makes it confusing

Magical_Madness

I enjoy the new design. It makes it simpler and it's more eye catching and colorful

I'm sure all the bugs and other things will be ironed out soon.

I think the text is too big, and a lot of space is wasted, but it is quite good. Where do I find my alerts and oldest messages?

I just wanted to note that it actually doesn't work perfectly on mobile (at least not on my iPhone 5); it's very glitchy and the bar at the top of the page is zoomed in a lot so you can only make out the words “tips” and “about”. Actually, the entire page is squished and distorted making it hard to be used.

Please fix this problem! I go on scratch a lot from my phone (when I'm like brushing my teeth in the morning or something) when I'm too lazy to pull out the computer and sit down at it.

Thanks!
Katel

ps I left an exact replica of this post on the Bugs & Glitches forum. Just wanted to let you know just in case if you see it! lol
