It looks like scratch 2.0 is coming along great! Something to add, though, I want the User ID block back! and yes, I know that there IS user name, but user ID could be used for things user name couldn't. Please bring it back, ST!

I want User ID more than I want Cloud list.

I have seen and heard many scratchers report the user-ID block has been taken out. I wanted to make sure that this wasn't permanent (or if it is).

It was taken out a long time ago. I'm pretty sure it's not coming back because it won't be needed soon once everything cloud is up to date.

Has anyone else noticed the MediaLib, Export Translation Strings, and Edit Block Colors options when you shift-click the edit menu? And when you apply edited block colors, the blocks don't turn to the color you specified.

The list of bugs is ones you've squashed, right? Just checking- the post doesn't say if they are.

Hahah, it'd be funny if they were ones we've introduced. XD

They should be ones that've been squashed - but it's always good to confirm that.

YESSS!!! Thank you! I was a little upset that the release date is so soon, but if you're killing this many major glitches this fast AND updating twice a week, I want to live on this planet again!

This is a much cooler tree. I like the cloud bg and the fact that it looks like a tree.

Question. Where is the “Forever If” Block? I cant find it, is it gone or i'm just bad at looking? Cos that block was really helpful.

It was removed.

Just put an “if” block inside of a “forever” block. It does the same thing.

Check my userpage and go on the project “bring back user id”. It's been on the front page many times and has over 400 views; it's remix tree consists of 24 remixes. If you want to get your voices heard you know what to do.

They will phase them in over time, so not immediately. (I persume you mean cloud)

I sometimes make changes in my project that I don't want. I don't want to save them, but I have to when I exit. Can somebody from the ST update that next please?



thanks

Find a project that used it before and take the block out into your backpack. You have it now.
