2.0 pages in 3.0

I noticed that some of the pages are still using the 2.0 layout, maybe consider changing those pages to 3.0?

2.0 pages in 3.0

There are already plans to update them, it just takes a while.

Here is a quote from a Scratch Team member

The Scratch website is non-profit, which means a lot of forward-facing features can often take a backseat due to things like lack of sufficient grant money for specific features or other issues (like legal compliance or backend fixes) taking first priority. So unless there's a genuine justification for updating pages to 3.0, I think we can deal with 2.0 a little longer.

really? I can see by their tax returns that they currently have over £10 million to spend. Of course they shouldn't spend all of that, but that's enough resources to update something outdated. It's been 5 years since 3.0 came out. They should've been updated by now, particuarly as they aren't working on anything it seems like at the moment.

There's also the ‘expenses’ part on the right. Running a website has ongoing costs and tasks, like server upkeep, site moderation, and so on.

scratch fact of the day whenever i feel like changing it: Oddly enough, the (item ( ) of list) and (item # of ( ) in list) blocks can be placed where boolean blocks are supposed to go. This calls on the Boolean() function in JavaScript (the language Scratch is coded in), or whatever other boolean coercion method exists. Numbers and booleans behave as expected, with 0 (but, incorrectly, not -0), “” (empty string), and “false” (the string) converting to false. Everything else converts to true, so stuff like NaN seem to be interpreted as strings.
set [foo v] to [something]
forever {
set [foo v] to (join (foo)(foo))
} :: control
Select this, then press Shift + Down

I know that. Yes, they made a loss in 2022. But that's the first loss they ever made on record (since 2013) and before that they were making profits in the millions for 5 years straight from 2017-2021 (in the 2 millions in 2019-2021, 3 million in 2018, 1 million in 2017). They have over 11 million in the bank yet the developers aren't updating outdated pages? It should've been done by now.
