You can't use the cloud variable when you first join and make an account on Scratch because MIT (the creators) made it so when you join you need to do these things to use a cloud variable. This is what you need to do: comment on people's projects, create a few projects, create a forum post, and comment on people's accounts and what they need to do on their game.

After you do all of this you will unlock: the cloud variable option, only wait 60 seconds between posts, comment without waiting, etc.

Hey there! While it is nice you are trying to help, the Scratch Team is not looking for guides at this time.

Not sure if this is an actual question, but I kinda found an answer.

I am pretty sure they probably stated they arent looking for guides at one point.

Hello! It's great that you want to help out other Scratchers. However, I think we have enough guides in the forums at the moment. Please feel free to welcome new Scratchers on the group welcoming topic or on individual topics created by New Scratchers.

Other places that can always use more helpful Scratchers like you, are the "Help With Scripts“ and ”Questions About Scratch" areas - please use them as designed, by responding to topics created by folks with problems to solve

Finally, a really good place for Scratch guides is the Scratch Wiki - check it out and see if it's something you might like to work on. They have a number of guides - and great organization.
