Hey everyone! We have a big batch of updates for you all :]

Email Confirmation
We're now requesting user's confirm their email address when creating a new Scratch account. Confirming your email address will enable your account to leave comments, share projects, and create studios. We will send you an email after registration with a link to confirm your account. All you need to do is click that link. Pretty simple, eh?

You're not required to confirm your email address. However, unconfirmed accounts will only be able to make and save unshared projects.

All accounts made before this update do not need to confirm their email address to leave comments, share projects, and create studios, etc.

Why do this? A couple reasons! 1) We're planning to release Scratch email updates soon! So, we want to make sure we're sending updates to working email addresses. 2) We've seen a lot trouble around password reseting and incorrect and / or fake email addresses. It's important the email is working to make this process work smoothly.

Customizable Featured Project Panel
We now have the ability to customize our “Featured Project” panel on our profile page. You can select from 6 presets:

- Featured Project
- Featured Tutorial
- Work In Progress
- Remix This!
- My Favorite Things
- Why I Scratch

To do this: Go to Featured Project panel on your profile. Hover over your featured project, and then click “Change Featured Project.” Then simply pick one of the presets from the drop-down menu on that page.

Design a Valentine
Look for the new heart sprites and “Design a Valentine” tutorial in the Tips Window.

Password Protecting Empty Trash
You'll now need to enter your password to “Empty Trash” aka permanently delete your projects.
