The Questions Forum

NOTE: Please make a new topic for your question. DO NOT ask here. Thanks!

I've been seeing a lot of closed topics (except for the stickies) in the questions forums, mainly because it doesn't relate to asking general questions about Scratch. I used cheddergirl's sticky in the Requests forum to help make this one, so most credit for this go to her.

Help with Scripts - Ask for help getting your project to work right
Show and Tell - Ask for people to look at your project/studio
Project Ideas - Ask for help to think up of project ideas
Collaboration - Ask to help make projects with another Scratch or ask other Scratchers for help
Requests - Ask other Scratchers for something; from art to music to reviews
Suggestions - Ask if something more can be put into Scratch
Bugs and Glitches - Ask if something you've been seeing is a bug or not
Advanced Topics - Ask questions about more advanced topics
Connecting to the Physical World - Ask about connecting Scratch projects to the physical world
Developing Scratch Extensions - Ask for help creating Scratch extensions
Things I'm Making and Creating - Ask about what others are creating outside of Scratch
Things I'm Reading and Playing - Ask about media outside of Scratch
Translating Scratch - Ask for Scratch to be translated into your language

*You may have noticed that I also skipped ‘Scratch Helper Groups’; that probably won't apply to you.*

Some things you should not use the forums for at all:

Asking to report something/somebody: Use the report button instead
Asking to close a topic: Also use the ‘report’ button or click the close button
Asking for the Scratch team to take back and alert: Use the Contact Us button
Asking if a project is allowed to be on the front page: Also use the ‘Contact Us’ button
Asking is something needs to be stickied: Also use the ‘report’ button
Asking for something to be featured: Go here instead.
Asking for a reason why someone was banned: That's between the banned user and the Scratch Team

Does your question not apply to these categories? If so, then it's probably okay to post it in the ‘Questions’ forum. Be sure to read the other stickies before you post it to make sure it's not already answered.



Scratch On!

Needs to be stickied

I feel like recently there's been a rehasing of the same old things in new threads just to get ITopic'd.
I think it would be better to report Chedda's thread to be added to this forum's ITopic index.

Also the forum basically does your job for you.
Under each subforum name is a description of what it's for.


And if you haven't noticed, we can keep stickying and ITopic'ing til kingdom come, but that won't help anything because, obviously, if people did read the stickies, there wouldn't be a problem of what goes where/where goes what.

I never knew that you could report cheddargirl's sticky and put it into the ‘Questions’ forum. Forgive me, I didn't know.
The forum says ‘post general questions’. Some people may not know what this means.

I just saw people taking this forum the wrong way, I thought I could point it out the way cheddargirl did. There was nothing like this in the ‘Questions’ forum, I thought that many people wouldn't have the patience to look in the ‘Requests’ forum. Sorry if there was already something else in the ‘Questions forum; I just didn’t know about it.

I hope I'm not spamming and I'm allowed to bump this.

^._.^::control //This is Kallie. She is a certified siggy protector. She protects my siggy from kumquats.

BUMP (again).

Great guide! Unfortunately, there seems to be a guide similar to this one (that is already stickied). But, this guide seems to have some more information about certain parts of the current sticky. This will most likely be turned into an iTopic.

Thanks! Sorry about that, I never thought both of these were similar.

And look at that, I'm bumping it again. (I seriously hope I'm not spamming.)

^._.^::control //This is Kallie. She is a certified siggy protector. She protects my siggy from kumquats.

Someone please tell me if I'm spamming when I bump this.

That's a nice guide! It could probably either get stickied or I'topic'd.

Nice guide! As said above, it is a duplicate, but I'd say it will be ITopic'd, cos it's quite helpful. By the way, by bumping this thread, you are not spamming. However, you should wait at least 12 hours before bumping it.

Nice! I do think this one

Help with Scripts - Ask for help with making your project

is not clear though. It's really only for scripting help. Maybe this instead

Help with Scripts - Ask for help getting your project to work right

?

That'll work. I'll edit the first post. Thanks for the suggestion.

EDIT: Done!

Yeah, sorry about that. I never knew it was a duplicate. But it got stickied anyways…

I'm pretty sure I waited at least 12 hours before each bump. I'm not sure about 24 hours, but I know that I waited 12 hours. Thanks for telling me.

Very helpful! Especially for new scratchers.
