Cloud Variables Limited to 128 Characters Now?

That must be why Scratch 2.0 Cloud lists don't work anymore (Sorry if someone else already said this, If yes I didn't see it)

How am I supposed to make a signature? Oh well:
(1)+((1)-((1)*((1)/((1) mod ([abs] of ([floor] of ([ceiling] of ([sqrt] of ([sin] of ([cos] of ([tan] of ([asin] of ([acos] of ([atan] of ([ln] of ([log] of ([e^] of ([10^] of (1)))))))))))))))))
=Negative Infinity!!!
P.S.Why are
([e^] of (0))
and
([10^] of (0))
blue and the rest green?

This wiki page is helpful.

They should be “e ^” and “10 ^”, not “e^” and “10^”.

Oh bother . So no more high score tables, achievements, and definitely no scratcharia as I can't store the level . What a shame.

Since cloud cars could no longer be used for high score tables or storing achievements, do you think there will be score in new scratch 3 blocks for implementing this kind of functionality in a more scalable controllable way? For example, achievements want to be recorded per user, but not accessable by other scratchers, so this is like a local cloud variable or list for that scratcher? Couldn't be used for chat rooms, and could be set to only save very periodically as it only needs to persist between sessions not in real time.

The high score table is more tricky, but perhaps an extension for high score tables that is limited in functionality just to record the username and a number for score. It might even present itself in a common way across all scratch projects?

Just a few ideas too try to handle the huge disappointment in the loss of a highly appreciated feature of scratch.

Not sure what could be done about the saving levels like scratcharia… In that game the level was saved once a minute to a cloud var to persist it between games… Guess there's nothing that could be done there
You could encode the string in to ONLY numbers?

Cloud Variables Limited to 128 Characters Now?

Has the limit been changed up to 256 characters now? Since I am able to set my cloud variable to ‘0102030405060708091011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435363738394041424344454647484950515253545556575859606162636401020304050607080910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637383940414243444546474849505152535455565758596061626364’ and it works just fine!

Sorry for necroposting, but I did proper testing, it showed up in the cloud data logs and it doesn't show up there if it's more than 256 characters. I was also told a while ago it was 256, so I'm pretty sure it's 256 characters.
