@helicoptur

Huh, weird. When I click it it plays the opening animation then disappears, and when I open it in a new tab this happens:

Hi, Tim! Welcome home.

[tjvr]

Interesting! I think I had an account since a long time ago, and the forum accounts were maybe merged with the Snap! social site accounts? Presumably when I logged back in today it fixed whatever was broken.

@bh

Hi, Tim! Welcome home.

Thanks, Brian! Nice to hear from you.

I’d “like” your post, but, well, I know how you feel about social features.

I’d “like” your post, but, well, I know how you feel about social features.

There used to be a like button that was added when you were gone, but it was removed later. Many other categories like former-uncategorized were removed after people started filling up the forum with off-topic topics

@tjvr

I’m sure this was possible once upon a time.

it still is possible on the scratch forum.

@tjvr

Probably something I could write a patch for, if the code here bears any resemblance to what I wrote

It's based on your Github's repository v3.5, packaged as a Discourse post-processor

@pumpkinhead

I do not know if it is possible to make empty rings.

I've written a little fix for this, and bundled that and some other fixes into v3.5.1 -- including your use href fix, @dardoro!

I know how you feel about social features.

whats is the secret in the wink here

[tjvr]

Oh, no secret; I just remember how keen Brian was when first setting up the forum to disable all the social features

edit: and there’s a FAQ for it!

[coder2195snap]

Oh and welcome back
Even though this is first time seeing you

@cycomachead
I've updated the plugin at GitHub - DarDoro/dardoro.github.io
Tim, this Discourse "adapter" part is just a proof of concept, not really maintained anymore.
You are well known to the dev team and trusted (you're admin here ) Maybe you can consider creating the full-blown solution.

There is also your "toScratchBlocks" PR #1646 remade as a user project Snap! Build Your Own Blocks.

[tjvr]

@dardoro

you're admin here

Yes, I’m still curious how long that will last

Maybe you can consider creating the full-blown solution.

Oh no, I couldn’t possibly. Honestly, it sounds like you’re doing a better job maintaining the Discourse plugin than I am of maintaining scratchblocks

There is also your "toScratchBlocks" PR #1646 remade as a user project Snap! 6.8.1 Build Your Own Blocks .

That’s so cool! I’d forgotten all about that!

Until you do something to make us regret it. I.e., probably forever.

Hovers finger over “delete forum” button...

@tjvr

Hovers finger over “delete forum” button...

You can't do this, if you do this, everybody's account dies, including YOUR'S!

your account does not want to DIE, does it?

[programmer_user]

It's called sarcasm

why does everyone think my posts are literal...

[snapenilk]

It seems like you thought tjvr's post was literal...
