It is possible, but it would be unsafe to do so.

First, find the image you want. Save it by right clicking the image, clicking Save As, then name it.
Next, go to your project. Hover over the “Choose a Sprite” or “Choose a Backdrop” button, depending on what you want. Move your mouse to the thing that looks like a half square with an arrow coming off the top. Click it. After a few seconds, your files should open up. Search for the name of your file, open it, and there you go!
Hope this helped!

According to the Scratch Wiki, “A project's thumbnail is the display icon which represents a project on the Scratch website and can provide an attractive appearance for a project.” Read more about thumbnails here: https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Thumbnail

According to the Scratch Wiki, “A signature (often shortened to ”sig“ or ”siggy“) is a feature on the Scratch Forums which allows a Scratcher to have a certain piece of text (often marked up with BBCode), and even images, appear automatically below each of their forum posts.” Read about how to change your signature here: https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Signature

Hope this helped!

That is false.

If you accidentally delete a scratch project without ever saving it? Is there any way to get it back.

@mimcdonald
go to ‘trash’ in ‘my stuff’ it should be there unless its a good few weeks since you deleted it

Probably add “To what degree can I add a swear in a Scratch project?” with the answer being something along the lines of “The best case scenario is that you don't add any swearing in a Scratch project. Censored (such as @%$!) swears and joke (such as ”hecktangle“) swears that aren't directed at any real life people or Scratchers may be tolerated but keep in mind that this may make your project marked NFE.”
