The cloud server is possibly down?

Cloud variables are currently broken, and all we can do is wait for them to be fixed.
Unfortunately, no one seems to know what's causing issues or when they will be fixed.
This affects everyone on Scratch, so the Scratch Team is aware of the situation.

Please continue using this topic to discuss issues with cloud data

I honestly hope that they don't change servers again….
Last time that happened, all of the OLD projects cloud variables stayed broken, and so only the NEW projects cloud variables had worked. So if this scenario happens again, that just means MORE current cloud variable projects will stay broken over time, again and again…….. and again…..

I REALLY hope that this is something they can fix on all sides, and not just “another workaround for only a new generation of cloud based projects”..

It isn’t that bad tbh the worst that can happen is that you just need to rename vars no sweat

The worst that can happen is that you spend hours debugging your code, can’t play other online games and rename the cloud variables in all of your projects.

Hello! Soooo, I recently remixed a project (https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1020053560) and the cloud variables didn't work. I got a little help from the creator and was told to change the names of the cloud variables but that did not work. The link to my remix is this: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1113970567/, I am on windows 10 and a DELL computer. Please fix it. My projects depend on it!!!

But these cloud variables have been down for a LONG time, cloud variables are the lifeblood of some games. Does anyone know why they are down, I haven't seen anything announced by ST about it. The clouddata site is down. If ST every does fix this issue, most old projects will still be broken, assuming their creators don't bother to fix them.

I really hope they fix them. They don't seem to be working, I was trying to build a project and test it out on my Windows 10 Dell and Chromebook, but when I pulled it up, it wouldn't work? How long has this been broken?

(I hope this works, this is my first time using scratch blocks in forums)

Im almost certain that they've been down since july, I don't know when they will be fixed, its really horrible that they've been down for so long.

Will stuff show up in the cloud data log when you rename the variable to THE ORIGINAL NAME ITSELF? Eg. - Rename ‘my variable’ to ‘my variable’.
