FAQ #1 QUESTION- Everyone, i have a problem. For some odd reason i can't change the picture on one of my galleries, and im not sure y. i click the browse button, select the picture i want, click update, and then it seems to be doing something, but when it's finished... NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!!!! (whats up with that?) I would appreciate help. Thanks BlueFlame. BTW, here is my gallery:  http://scratch.mit.edu/galleries/view/33922 ANSWER- It has updated, but your internet browser probably has the old picture saved. You just need to clear your cache ^^ If you don't know how to do it read the instructions here:  http://kb.iu.edu/data/ahic.html
FAQ #2 QUSTION- What are the system requirements for Scratch?  ANSWER- Here are the system requirements for Scratch 1.3:  Display:     1024 x 768 or larger, thousands or millions of colors (16-bit color or greater) OS:     Windows 2000 or later (Win 98 for Scratch 1.2.1)     Mac OS X 10.4 or later (Mac OS X 10.3 for Scratch 1.2.1)  Disk:     at least 120 megabytes of free space to install Scratch (see note below) The CPU speed and memory requirements have soft limits. Most computers have enough memory to run Scratch. Older computers may run Scratch slowly, but it will run. To take advantage of sound ouput and input, you need speakers (or headphones) and a microphone. Many laptops have speakers and microphones built in. Note: Scratch comes with a large media library and a collection of Sample projects. If you have very limited disk space, you can delete the "Media" and "Projects" folders from the Scratch folder.

FAQ #3 QUESTION- Can I update my existing project with a new one?  ANSWER- If you upload a project with the same name as one that is on the website already, the new project will replace the old.
FAQ #4 QUESTION-   I can see my project's page but project doesn't load in the browser   ANSWER- You need to have the Java Runtime Environment installed on your  computer. You can go to:  http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp  and click the "Verify Installation" button to see if you need to install Java.  If not, you can get it here:  http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp Firefox is a nice browser that works across platforms. We have tested the website in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari.
