This project is dedicated to the #Bring_It_Back movement, remember to sign the petition! https://www.change.org/p/scratch-bring-back-our-discuss-button-on-scratch/ “The discuss button would make Scratch better. If you can inspect element to add the button for yourself, will it change it for anybody else? They have to do it by themselves. I've never heard of it or used it, but it sounds like a thing that will improve the way you code. I'm not against the Scratch team's decision. If they think Scratch is better without it, that's fine. But I want it back like all of you other people. I want to experience something new.” @rosethingythingthing "The forums play an important role on Scratch. I am not satisfied with the current arrangement myself. I have been told that there will be additional ways in the future for Scratchers to find pertinent sections of the forums." @Paddle2See "Based on the general consensus here, the active forum users were upset by this change. This includes me. It really annoys me, and I think this will confuse lots of people. Also, this may have an effect on the forums in general. Projects advertised in Show and Tell won't get as much attention, confused people may not realise there's a forum to ask their questions, and people may spread the rumour that the forums have shut down I think it would be better to just bring back the discuss button" @Auroura_Wolf "I'm sorry people, but I believe that the forums were an extremely useful asset. It's where people could ask for help, or introduce themselves, it's where I got MY start! I may post later when I calm down. Because right now I am not in a very good mood because the forums are harder to find." @Pylar "But I liked the discuss button :(" @ilovehamsters "There is much more provided on the Tips page than in the tips bar. And, as mentioned in our announcement post, we believe this will help newcomers discover and use our new Scratch activities." "In addition to the inclusion of the new Tips page, the site navigation menu has also been updated. We replaced the “Help” button with a “Tips” button, which will lead you to the new Tips page mentioned above. We believe this will help newcomers discover and use our new Scratch activities. We have also removed the “Discuss” button from the navigation menu. We made this decision based on usage (how often it was clicked) and to give emphasis to the other menu options like “Create” and “Explore.” You can still access the Discussion Forums by clicking the link in the footer at the bottom of every page or by going to These changes were made to help highlight project creation and get new users started on becoming full-fledged Scratchers!" Part of the original post by "If your trying to make Scratch easier to use, removing the discuss tab is not the way to do it. I use this page all of the time, and use that button to get to it quickly. I don't want to have to spend an extra four clicks just to complain about those clicks. What about bugs and glitches? Who's going to report them if they have to read the 9 pt. font at the bottom of the page that looks like a bunch of legal stuff? I guess you're stuck with a glitchy program and buggy website, you're choice. You're doing this to yourself, Scratch Team, you don't know what you've done." "*chanting* bRING IT BACK! bRING IT BACKKK!!!!!" "The Tips button is futile in my opinion. I just learned scratch by using it, not with tips. The blocks are in English, not some other weird language. I think we should start a petition about the "Discuss" button. I know you can use inspect element to temporarily add the button, but this does not make navigating the website easier. This is probably the worst decision the Scratch team has ever made and will ever make." "I was trying to make a game that had a level creator and the codes wouldn't fit in a comment. I decided to make a forum and I looked at the navigation bar. I was looking for the "Discuss" button. It was gone. I had to scroll ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE to get to the forums. I just started using the forums and now the button is gone. It makes NO sense. EVERY time I want to go to the forums, I look for the "Discuss" button. Now, it's gone. " infinitehorizons.xyz
