  • The navbar does not fit with the Sign In and Join Scratch in 2.0 pages.
  • The alert for deleting a studio is empty.
  • The Hosted by Me list remains empty.
  • The Debug button in the editor's background color width is too small.

  • The “studios the project is in” counter always says 0.

  • You can go to any site when in the post preview.
  • In 2.0 pages, “Adobe Flash Player is not supported” appears when Scratch loads the page.
  • Most likely due to Internet issues, you can comment twice instead of once.
  • Some parts of the Scratch homepage do not load, mainly because the Scratch Team have paused Front Page Curators.
  • In 2.0 pages, you can hover over the Scratch logo from just two pixels down.
  • In 2.0 pages, there is no <hr> tag in the account dropdown.
  • Some users have made topics or posts but the post counter says “0 posts”.

The OP is inactive cause they absolutely have to be inactive, it’s stated on their profile. I don’t think that can render the old topic completely unusable.

You don’t have the ability to have that to be your choice to make. It’s the choice of the scratch team and the users who think wether or not the current topic is fine. Also, did you get permission? That’s one of the biggest parts. And tbh at this point yeah I can see why you would make this topic I’m not gonna argue anymore. (it is still kinda hard to take you seriously still )

Here is what I said in your 2 previous topics:
You need to have explicit permission from the owner or the Scratch Team.
guides or attempts to create stickies are for the most part under a restrictive policy, and unless you have permission from other sticky owners or the Scratch Team (or if the Scratch Team deems the sticky extremely important), you may not get the sticky.
Remember that the reason for getting new ownership of topics like these most likely shouldn't be for bragging rights or to get famous.

Then why do you want to get the sticky when unless if there’s proof then you didn’t get permission?
