Lag ^ Infinity.

It puts a confirm box whenever a link block is called in my idea, though.
You could cancel the loop.

Specs 1 (main): Safari on MacBook Pro; Late 2008; Core 2 Duo @2.4GHz; 8GB 1067MHz DDR3 RAM; Mac OS X 10.10;

Specs 2: Firefox on Lenovo Yoga 13; Core i7 @2.0GHz; 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM;
tri-boots Windows 10 Pro, Mac OS X 10.10, and Ubuntu 14.01 LTS;

All have the latest version of Flash.

That exploit also can be stopped by making it so that the open URL block acts as a

stop [all v]

block for the project it is in, or it opens the link in the tab you are already on. Either way, the project running stops.

Here's an idea, to make the block(s) less misleading:

go to page for user [jTron] // http://scratch.mit.edu/users/{name}/
go to wiki page for [Scratch Design Studio] // http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/{title}/
go to studio page with id (341264) // http://scratch.mit.edu/studios/{id}/
go to project page with id (18220841) // http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/{id}/

…etc.

They could even be all a dropdown or something like.
For the [go to project…] one, a project picker could even be implemented where you can see your projects, your favorites, etc.

There should also be a preset limit, for example this block can only execute one every X seconds and will be skipped/delayed until it is re-enabled.

I think this is more compatible, but we need to add blocks for the forums.

Goto forums would help for if you had, say, a bug reporter thread in the help with scripts section. My agreement is furthered.

[ v]

In many Flash games online, there's a button that says “More Games” and when it is clicked, it takes you to the homepage of the website (usually in a new tab). Why isn't there a

go to URL [google.com] in new tab ::sensing

block? Here could be some example uses:

when this sprite clicked
go to URL [scratch.mit.edu/users/cutekids100/] in new tab ::sensing

when I receive [Finished v]
say [For the sequel press space now!] for (2) secs
wait until <key [space v] pressed?>
go to URL [scratch.mit.edu/projects/00000000] in new tab ::sensing

My browser / operating system: Windows 7, Chrome 38.0.2107.3, Flash 14.0 (release 0)

No because people could send someone to a bad or dangerous website.

No, people could make a project which goes to a website with viruses and such malicious code.

Ahhh.

Also,

forever
    go to URL [google.com] in new tab ::sensing
end

No support.

No I don't make projects anymore. I left some time ago.
I only check the forums every now and then, but other than that consider me retired.

A better block would be

go to scratch.mit.edu/[projects/16072833/] in new tab ::sensing

However we have still this problem:

There is one way to prevent this:

when this sprite clicked :: sensing
go to scratch.mit.edu/[projects/16072833/] in new tab ::sensing

(this is supposed to be one block, not two)

Or for more cases this one:

when [chose action v] :: sensing
go to scratch.mit.edu/[projects/16072833/] in new tab ::sensing

Possible options:
this sprite clicked: yes, this is safe
grenn flag clicked: also safe
key pressed: safe
receive message: not safe, because you can put a sender into a forever loop.

advantages:
- you can only link to scratch.mit.edu seites, so only to forum topics, projects, users, studios andall the other stuff scratch user can do.
- better way of advertising projects (contest prizes for example)
- ability to linking and connecting projects

disadvantages:
- high chance for an advertisment boom on projects (many projects will use clickable adds)
- kids maybe wont think about the fact, that adds are sometimes bad and could get because of this problems in reallife, because everyone said scratch is a safe site, so they would think adds are also safe.

Surely someone too young to see the site would have a NetNanny or McAffee

when green flag clicked
if <(language) = [English ]> then
    
say [Everything is Awesome!] for (2) secs
end
if <(language) = [French ]> then
    
say [Tout est super-genial!] for (2) secs
end
if <(language) = [Italian ]> then
    
say [E meraviglioso!] for (2) secs
end
if <(language) = [Spanish ]> then

say [Todo es fabuloso!] for (2) secs    
end

when I receive [go to URL v]
delete (all v) of [url list v]
add (URL) to [url list v]
show list [url list v]
say [Select the URL from the list and copy to your browser's address bar.] for (2) secs

Yeah but a hyperlink would be more convenient

when green flag clicked
if <(language) = [English ]> then
    
say [Everything is Awesome!] for (2) secs
end
if <(language) = [French ]> then
    
say [Tout est super-genial!] for (2) secs

Loops would be a crash-all,
a whitelist would be a hassle.
There'd be much abuse to report,
and therefore I do not support.
