  Most of what the Browser object provides is more conveniently accessed directly from JavaScript. For example you can access the user agent string via navigator.userAgent rather than trying to read an expression on the Browser object.

  The events look OK, but note you post to "../upload.php", which in preview mode will post to "preview.construct.net/upload.php", which does not exist. You probably want to put your full URL in there.

  I can't really help you with the PHP side, but note it will post the binary data as the body of the POST request. It will be raw binary data, it's not URL encoded in any way.

  I was going to say that holding Alt is the usual way of temporarily disabling snapping while moving instances, but then I realised it didn't work for nudging with the arrow keys... so that's fixed in r191!

  Step 1 is to load the saved image URL in to Binary Data. To do that, use a 'set response binary' action followed by requesting the saved image URL. Once that AJAX request completes, the Binary Data object contains the saved image binary data. Then as you've noted you can use 'Post binary to URL' to send it to a server.

  There are currently 117 problems in the Chinese translation as of 2020-03-16. These mostly relate to the inconsistent use of placeholders BBcode tags. Please review the translation guidelines. The Chinese translation in Construct will not be updated until these are corrected.

  You can't send the saved image URL. It refers to local data so the remote server will not be able to access it.

  Use AJAX to first load the Drawing Canvas in to a Binary Data object, and then send the Binary Data to your server.

  We have made a wide range of UX improvements in C3. It first came out in 2017 and we've been making lots of changes over time since then, many of which are directly in response to user feedback, and lots of them are listed here. IIRC the change to keyboard movement of objects to be grid-aligned was directly in response to other users requesting that, and it does make sense - since the old way of doing it is basically ignoring the grid even if "snap to" is enabled, which is pretty much a bug. If you're coming from C2 then there are a few things that are different - in particular the ribbon is gone, largely because it was almost completely redundant in C2 (and in my opinion, significant pieces of redundant UI is itself bad UX design, and removing it improves that). The feedback we've had from people moving from C2 to C3 has largely been overwhelmingly positive so I think that once you adjust it becomes clear that C3 does a lot of things much better. If you think something is a bug or could be improved, you can file a suggestion or post a bug.

  You can try using the Game Recorder object to record a video, but currently it can only work in real-time.

  Right click an object in the Project Bar and use 'Select all in project'.

  Android should indeed be able to play OGG files, but these days you should have everything encoded to WebM Opus (.webm), since that can play everywhere. C3 automatically encodes imported audio to .webm for you.

  I'm not sure what you're seeing, but you should only need to click 'New issue' on the issues tab, then 'Get started' next to 'New bug report'.
