Wait what does that image show.

oh and don't tell me to update.
update your device, then you'll see it

Their device is an iPad 2, they can't update it.

Newsflash: Modern browsers have their own task manager to force stop web pages.

And again, is it worth breaking projects to fix an issue that doesn't really exist?

Just because you use powerful computers doesn't mean everyone has one.

How many projects actively try to lag devices?
And this 2018 laptop-tablet isn't actually that powerful

selfexplanatory

With that logic, the ST shouldn't moderate the site, because not many people would actively try to break the rules.

That's not what I meant at all. The problem with the stop sign clicked workaround can be ignored, since the problem is small, and there are many good uses for it. ST not moderating the website would only cause issues, so they can't be compared.

With that logic, fixing problems that don't exist is just as important as fixing ones that do.

How else would thumbnails be made?

This is perfectly fine, and this suggestion would break many projects, so no support.

when green flag clicked
set [ghost v] effect to (100)

It's much easier to use the stop sign workaround than it is to repeatedly going to the thumbnail sprite, showing it, then saving the project.

i see your problem, but as you said barley anyone uses that function - i wouldnt like to see them remove this workaround because some people come up with really cool & creative ways to use it

in your situation where it started playing music, if the music bothered you than just simply close the tab

Or just use the browser or device's mute button.

Maybe only when someone clicks the stop sign twice?

No support as it the stop sign click workaround functionality is useful for cool effects and even for April Fools day.

Why would you have to repeatedly show it? I'm also against this suggestion, but please use actual reasons.

Let me clarify
Would you rather

Every time you want to save, go to the thumbnail sprite, click the show button, then save, or
Just press the stop button, then save

No support. Just because a suggestion is rejected does not mean you are disallowed to find a way to implement the rejected suggestion for yourself (e.g via extensions or workarounds).

The ghost effect clears when the stop button is clicked. Have you used the effect block at all?

I'm talking about the “hide” button.

And, the stop sign workaround is way more flexible than the hide block or ghost effect. Its kinda like cloud variables, user variables, and local variables. A few are easier, but 2 are more flexible, and I'd rather have flexibility than simplicity.
