In my opinion the messages is actually better now! But what about Alerts…

I really like this update! But there is no way to tell if it is an old message or new, so maybe you could add some sort of symbol to feature the fact that it is a new message?
I agree.

This is a pretty common answer to this new update. I made a user script to fix this, and the problemm about the messages being to big. (If you don't know how to use a userscript just tell me on my profile xD: Great update! Wish it was a little easier to see new messages, though. Also, if you could “Flag” Messages to come back to them later, that would be awesome.
Still cool though!
I used jokebookservice1 (go and follow him!)'s script (that made all unread messages lightgray) to make this, so credit to him
// ==UserScript== // @name Highlight New Notifications // @version 0.1 // @description Highlights new notifications in the updated /messages page on Scratch // @author jokebookservice1, packersrulegopack // @match https://scratch.mit.edu/messages/ // ==/UserScript== /*Also thanks to JokeBookService he created the majority of this program, I just edited the css to make stuff look better and added the "messages are to big problem. */ let css = document.createElement("STYLE"); css.appendChild(document.createTextNode(".mod-unread{background-color: #F7F7B2;font-size:14px;}.mod-comment{font-size:14px;}.comment-message-info{font-size:14px;}.comment-text{padding:6px;}.comment-message-info-img{width:37px;height:37px;}")); document.body.appendChild(css);

I like the new messaging system! My only issue is that since I read abnormally fast, it takes even longer for the messages to stop appearing. But otherwise good!

Hehe, that happens to me too! Except I don't read too fast, and the people above say so too, so I think it's a glitch.

If you don't want the extra changes that PackersRuleGoPack added to my userscript, and only want to make the messages lightgrey, then you may want to use the original I made, which is below.
// ==UserScript== // @name Highlight New Notifications // @version 0.1 // @description Highlights new notifications in the updated /messages page on Scratch // @author jokebookservice1 // @match https://scratch.mit.edu/messages/ // ==/UserScript== let css = document.createElement("STYLE");css.appendChild(document.createTextNode(".mod-unread{background-color: #e0d9d9;}"));document.body.appendChild(css);

The message symbol (favourite, love it, follow, comment) shows up as a bright colour if it is new and goes slightly duller when read. Hope this helps!

under penalty of law this signature is not to be removed except by the consumer

where do have scratch on the phone? 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

Eh I don't love the new layout. But it's good that the social actions are stored more efficiently.

I was talking to someone complaining about it glitching, and telling them that it was nothing wrong. Three times in the past couple hours have I got a ‘fake notification’ from that conversation. Woohoo, irony! I like this update, but even after I check my messages, it says I still have a message. I'll check it and I don't, so it's really hard to tell when I have a message and when I don't. Is this a glitch or is this happening to everyone? Thanks!
Anyway, I love the new system : D Can't wait for Scratch 3.0
I am Wahsp

Great! Lol, I'll just tell you how to use the messages userscript here:
Get this extension:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en (Thats for chrome users, any other browser just search up tamper monkey and get it)
Once it installs click this:
And then copy paste this:And then click “save”:// ==UserScript== // @name Highlight New Notifications // @version 0.1 // @description Highlights new notifications in the updated /messages page on Scratch // @author jokebookservice1, packersrulegopack // @match https://scratch.mit.edu/messages/ // ==/UserScript== /*Also thanks to JokeBookService he created the majority of this program, I just edited the css to make stuff look better and added the "messages are to big problem. */ let css = document.createElement("STYLE"); css.appendChild(document.createTextNode(".mod-unread{background-color: #F7F7B2;font-size:14px;}.mod-comment{font-size:14px;}.comment-message-info{font-size:14px;}.comment-text{padding:6px;}.comment-message-info-img{width:37px;height:37px;}")); document.body.appendChild(css);
Then close the tab and open up scratch!

Awesome! One question, how does one view their alerts?
Here's a post that Speakvisually made about that: In my opinion the messages is actually better now! But what about Alerts…
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.
