forever if block

This block used to exist in Scratch 1.4, but was removed because the workaround was so easy:

forever
if <> then

end
end

I would say that this block is not coming back.

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.

Obsolete and removed block. I can see why did they delete it.
forever if <> :: control // This block will check for only one time

end
forever
forever if <> :: control // Basically block waste

end
end

forever
if <> then // Ez workaround

end
end
if <> then // Ez workaround
forever

end
end

No support.

As the others stated, the workaround is pretty simple.

Basically, this block has been deleted from Scratch because it's too obsolete. No support.
Like the other replies say, it's a pretty easy workaround.

Please don't suggest 1.4 blocks to come back.

Actually, it wasn't removed because it had an easy workaround. It was removed because many beginning Scratchers found it overly confusing. Showing the two functions that it performs as separate blocks seems to be easier for beginners to understand.

So, sorry, I don't think we are interested in seeing it come back at this time.
