Umm...

On fmtfmtfmt2's profile, I saw a featured project, I clicked the logo of the project, but in player and editor, it was made by andresmh, not fmtfmtfmt2. Is this a bug?

Sorry if it has been suggested before.

Edit: , Flash 14.0 (release 0)

It's maybe a bug - maybe a feature - depending on how we want to look at it. @VoltageGames figured out a way to feature projects that belong to other people. We haven't decided if we should fix it or not. What do you think? Bug or feature?

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I would say a bug. I don't think you should be allowed to feature other people's projects on your profile. It's like stealing credit.

They intended to feature that project

in my opinion it could be a feature:
1. if you have an alt account you could feature a project on it rather than moving it over to your main account
2. if you're a member of a group like “Scratching Fame” you could feature a project by a not-so-well-known Scratcher
3. if you want to highlight your favorite project on the website, you could feature it on your account

those are just some ideas I came up with
As a long time Scratcher, I have found new meaning to the name “Scratch”: for me, it means to “scratch that itch”, to come back again and again to realize new ideas in this toy language, even when I'm capable of creating my projects in real programming languages years later. It's a friend that helped me to pursue programming and get me to enjoy its fruit. I'm certain many others who have walked this path as well have grown fond of its importance in their life.

It could be misused to promote one project from a bunch of alternate accounts.

It omits the author of the project.

It is intended to be a project by the user whose page it is on.

*Clickbait title is Clickbaity*

But really, I think that this should be turned into an intended and normally accessable feature. I like the idea of featuring other people's work on your profile, it could be used more instead of the annoying “hey try out my friends new game: scratch.em.eye.tee.edeeyou/project/over9000”
