semi-support, I feel like the 2.0 style should be able to be used with extra typing because some people prefer the 2.0 style.

I agree! I think it should give the option to chose 2.0 or 3.0 blocks.

Please?

I've seen many New Scratchers confused that the blocks in the forums seem different and weird. I also can't see the reason why they haven't added it - it's been 1.5 years and even the Scratch Wiki has it already…

Someone mentioned that it's the folks at DjangoBB who have to do it..

That's incorrect. DjangoBB isn't even developed any more (the ST maintains their own fork).

Yep, and I'm not an expert with the whole DjangoBB thing, but I'm pretty sure the Scratch Team implemented the [scratchblocks] system themselves (that's not something that appears in usual discussion forums on other sites).

I'd assume that DjangoBB is just a server host that sets up a template, and the user may change it however they like after reading the Terms of Use? Like I said, I'm not an expert.

Yeah. Someone also said it was implemented by nX11?
Has an issue been raised at the GitHub repo yet?

The repository for the forums is in the scratchr2 repository, which is a private one (which is also said to be a big mess). Some forum-related issues can be discussed in the scratch-www repository, even though the forums have not bee 3.0-ified yet.

The s2forums repository has not recieved updates for a few years, and contains a message saying that it is now developed in the scratchr2 repository. The forums still have had changes in scratchr2.

Interesting…

Anyways, let's not talk about DjangoBB here; it would be off-topic.

Actually the scratchblocks tag was implemented by @blob8108.

There is the solution :
Scratch 2.0:
wait (1) secs
repeat (10)

end
forever


scratchblocks :: control
end
Scratch 3.0 :
here :: control [/scratchblocks]

I agree… But either way, I was thinking that it would be better if you had the option to use Scratch 2 or 3. Some people have different opinions on what they like!

I agree… it would be terrible if you had to type all the blocks out like "translate to (English v) :: pen"

I think it's the best way to introduce a new tag in order not to do some bad things. The tag could be one of these:
  • [scratchblocks3]
  • [scratch3]
  • [scratch3blocks]
It should be done like this in order to prevent many blocks which text changed to turn red. Maybe there should also be a [scratchblocks2]-tag (or similar, pick again one way out of the list and replace 3 by 2) which says the blocks should stay in scratch 2.0 design.
The [scratchblocks]-tag should get a standard syntax which scratch tries to convert to the latest scratch version (correctly, so convert block names for example)
There is just a problem with 3.0 extensions: They all have a picture at the left. It would be good if you could use your own one to show the blocks in your extension for example. In scratch 2.0 they all had one colour.
Extension posts in 3.0 design should also have the ability (staying) to colour the blocks like you want them to.

I 1000% Agree! The tag idea is great!
