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?

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 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!

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 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!

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:

// ==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);

And then click “save”:


Then close the tab and open up scratch!

Awesome! One question, how does one view their alerts?

In my opinion the messages is actually better now! But 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.
