Question mark in grey box!
I created a project called “yay, 41 followers” and I made a sprite that said “yay, 41 followers!” But for some reason a few minutes later there was a question mark inside a grey box on my project when I didn't put that. I remember I saved the whole project and didn't add any question mark in a grey box. I feel like someone hacked into my account and did that. Please help!

That's weird! I think you should change your password so that doesn't happen again.

Hmmm. I don't remember what project I saw this in but I know I've seen it before. Mabey talk to someone on the ST or someone like Will_wam or another coding expert

This has happened to me before.
If you try to upload an svg sprite from a file, this happens sometimes as well.
For me, the ? was slightly off center in the grey box. I highly doubt you've been hacked - this I would say is a glitch.

This happened to me before, it is probably not a hacker, so don't worry.
Once I was trying to get an svg version of the Chick-fil-A logo, so I looked up “chick-fil-a logo vector”, and I found one. When I went to save it to the file, the file extension said .png, so I changed it to .svg (I realize now that you can't do that), and it let me. When I tried to upload it from my file, since it wasn't an actual svg file, it instead made a sprite that was a grey box with an off-center ? in it.

Yeah I’ve noticed this to, feels like more of a purposeful thing than a glitch on the ST’s part.

Paint editor:

I just did it by renaming a png to svg. It's probably the default image if an SVG is invalid.
