My son made, named, and shared a game he created. I can't find it on MY account! Help?

I am new here. I have been reading other topics and read the FAQs. My son made a game the other day and shared it with the community. I wanted to see it from my account and I cannot find it. I have tried searching for his user name and by the title of his project. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to their profile page then go to their shared projects to see the project. Type in
https://scratch.mit.edu/users/REPLACE THIS WITH THEIR USER NAME/
in your web address bar to get to their profile.

It takes a while for the serach bar to update- don't worry!

You can get your son to give you the URL of the project or his profile.

A lot of the time, because of lag, the search results take awhile to update. Don't worry, you should see it soon

You can always ask for the URL of the project.

Or just go to his profile page, and find it in his shared projects.

You can go to his profile page by using
http://scratch.mit.edu/users/YOUR SON'S USERNAME WITHOUT SPACES
or you can just wait a bit, the Search bar takes a while to update.

Wait a little bit, his game might not show up. If your son has his own account, it is possible that the project has a grey thumbnail, it could also be updating the thumbnail so it will show. But it could be rated NFE since you can't find it in the search and you can't find it on the front page. If he made a FNAF game, that should be the reason why, but other than that, I'd suggest asking your son to share a link with you with his game.

It might not be popping up because it's NFE, which means it cannot show up on the search bar

Sorry, but I changed “cannot” to “can't” because I REALLY don't like words when they have a shorter version of them but they're the longer version.

Hey, please don't post irrelevant comments!

Your son's game might be marked NFE, or the Search Bar might be taking a while to load.
It could have also been taken down by the Scratch Team.

Judging my your title, it appears that you're wondering why you can't see it on your account. His project won't be shared on your account if he has a account of his own and he shared it there. If he has an account of his own and you want to see his project on there, it's very simple, and muelly has already told you how to get there:

NFE means “not for everyone.” It is a label given to projects that are minorly creepy, have small (like papercut) amounts of blood, somewhat rude, but not inappropriate language, or anything that just slightly pushes the community guidelines.
The scratch wiki article explains this in more detail.
