Why I can't open .gfar files? What's the requirement? It always prints "The file is still archived bla bla" everytime I attempted to open :/

Use the greenfoot application to open the '.gfar' files -- just like you open up one of your projects. You should be able to open it if it is located in your 'scenarios' folder.

There is a bug in Greenfoot 2.4.0 that prevents opening .gfar files directly. However, the files are in the same format as zip files, so you can rename them to end with .zip (you may need to make filename extensions visible first) and then extract them using the Windows Explorer.

Well, I was suspected as spammer for posting a pic @_@ I will try it when I'm home anyway. Thanks for the helps ;)

I don't understand why everyone reacts so negatively to having their post "classified as potential spam" (which is what actually happened; you were not "suspected as a spammer"). We sometimes get spam on this forum. At one point, we got a lot, and we had to deal with it. This meant we had to develop some automatic way of detecting posts that might be spam posts. This classifier saw your post as potential spam (yes, inclusion of a picture is a factor). However, your post has now been approved; furthermore, any more pictures/links that you post are unlikely to be classified as spam because you have been marked as an approved (non-spamming) user. I wish people could show a bit more patience and understanding, and furthermore that they would read the messages given by the system - it never said you were a suspected spammer.

Yeah, other people, but not me. I'm totally okay to be suspected as spammer. And it's good to know the same thing wont happen again.

And what's embarassing is not to be suspected as spammer, but I couldn't post anything during the time.

Again: "suspected" is too strong a term. But I guess arguing language semantics is pointless. I'm sure you can understand why we don't allow a potential spammer to keep posting until we have verified their status. For what it's worth the message you receive when you post something detected as potential spam is:
Possible spam detected - Your post looks like potential spam. Your account has been temporarily disabled until the post can be reviewed by an administrator. This should happen soon. If approved, your post will be created and your login will be reactivated. If you have any concerns please email support@greenfoot.org
Actually, the message is slightly wrong because your account is not disabled (it is just prevented from being able to make posts). The message does not says that you are a "suspected spammer" or even that your post is "suspected spam". It also makes it quite clear that you will soon be able to continue posting, which was certainly the case here.

Meh, I see. My english is not at its best, I still need to learn some. I'm sorry for causing such misunderstanding. And yes, I understand. No one have times for deleting those spams manually. :)
