Yeah, that's allowed as it related to Scratch. Someone even made a scratchclient tutorial on the Scratch Wiki.

Made using Nord Theme & Inkscape

Hi, it is cool that you want to be a moderator, I suggest going on the owner's profile and asking there as they are more active over there.

I don't believe moderators are currently being added. You can be put on the waitlist by commenting on NFlex23's profile

This is cool. I do have a suggestion though, can there be a way to preview your posts?

Pretty much.

I know, it does look pretty weird. Any suggestions for other images?

Not yet unfortunately. I was having a hard time integrating the library with markdown and React.

Bump/bug report

Using the browser's back button does not send users back to the right page on paginated pages

Why does it matter?
Accessibility, etc.,etc., you probably know by now.

Description
Pressing the browser's back button on a tutorial always brings you to the first page.

Steps to reproduce
1. Go to the explore tutorials page.
2. Go to the second page of tutorials by clicking the “2” or the “>”
3. Click “view” on any tutorial and you will be navigated to its page.
4. Click your browser's back button or use Alt+Left Arrow
5. You are sent to the first page of tutorials instead of the second.

Possible solution
Add a ?page=2 query parameter and implementation so pressing back goes back to the correct page.

This is my signature. Go check out my GitHub if you want to!

I feel like I can implement this with some work. Is it on github somewhere?

This isn't really a bug. The pagination is a component in the page, so pressing the back button will instead go back to the last page you've been too, like the homepage. I know it's different than how Scratch does it, but a lot of sites do it this way too.

I do understand that it's annoying, so I'll see if I can work it out.
