Do you have an advertisement or sequel to your game? I give you… the hyperlink suggestion!
Click the new BLUE T, and in the prompt, put in the project link, then in the new prompt, put in what text you want to show up!
Goes something like this in project:
Click here to play ThisGame2!
-clicks-
Prompt: Do you want to open the project ThisGame2 in a new tab?
Opens or does not open ThisGame2 in new tab respective to the answer

Update: 5/6/15
When I originally suggested this, I didn't really think about how it would work n stuff, or even what would happen if you tried to send someone to a link outside of Scratch, but it looks like somehow a popular suggestion (a block that links to a SCRATCH page) has made it's way to this thread.

It should have a pop-up message (like the username block message) asking you to confirm, and it should also freeze the script until the user responds to the message to prevent spam opening tabs:



There message would show the page being linked to, and the icon for projects, profiles and studios.

Yeah, a block like
follow link [http://scratch.mit.edu/users/Scratch12300/]
so it can go to that webpage. (that example will actually take you to my profile page.) And if the webpage is nonexistant, it ignores it.

Bump.

60 second rule got me!

However, it can be used for mousetrapping:
When gf clicked
Forever
follow link [the same project]
so that you will repeatedly go to the project that is spamming, until your computer crashes.

Yes, but The_Scratch wrote:

So It gives you a warning first. That would prevent that.

I'm pretty sure this would be very hard to implement. And couldn't you just use the description…?

Support for this-

open page scratch.mit.edu/[] :: control

This block will only open Scratch pages, this way the user isn't tricked into opening a page with a virus on it.

(For those of you wondering, I put the “scratch.mit.edu” on the outside of the textbox on purpose for the reason stated above.)

What about:

link to project () :: control

It will come up with a nice box saying “would you like to go here” and “yes”, “no thanks”, and “stop asking me”

I agree with having the pop-up window. But what if you wanted to link to a profile page or a page in the forums?

woah guys, you necroposted my old topic! But it's still valid I guess.

I still support this. (When I originally suggested, I didn't think about linking to other websites, but just scratch links is better)

Semi support:

when green flag clicked
forever
    open link scratch.mit.edu/ [] 
end

What about you can not drag it in Forever or repeat blocks

We were gonna have a little message box pop up that pauses the project. The user can then choose whether or not they want to open the page.

When the block happens, it pauses all scripts and opens a prompt that asks you if you want to go or not, thus not forcing the site upon you. But then the prompt will be continually opened… so maybe the block can't be placed in a forever block unless it is in an if, or it cannot be activated within 5 seconds of itself?

Or perhaps the pop-up window pauses the program and the program won't continue until the user selects an option.

Ah, a fun one! One thing, though:

When typing in

open link scratch.mit.edu/ [] ::control

you should be allowed to put in

https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/4825/

-or-

discuss/topic/4825/

so that you could simply pop in the link and it would negate the https://scratch.mit.edu/ part automatically, resulting in the same thing as just adding the tail. This would allow you to quickly pop in a link, but the people who didn't know of that nuance AND who expected it to work by tacking it on wouldn't be confused.

Alternatively:

link to Scratch page [] ::control

would have exactly the same function, but clear up that confusion minefield, plus look like a nicer block, plus be the second block to ever have a capital letter :3

SUPPORT

Like your mockup, but I have one thing to say, your spam prevention may work but there still is the fact I can mousetrap anybody with it! So i'll stick with a 85% support, actually 88%… just cuz your mockup
