Question Mark Bug won't leave my unshared project I haven't touched in weeks.
oh… then uh.. i guess they'll see i have a ton of remixes lolYeah they can but they usually don't check it I think unless it is illegal I think.wait your able to see unshared stuff?We have been working on recovering a randomish group of assets in projects that were incorrectly marked for deletion two weeks ago. However, doing the fix is requiring a visit to a rather large number of these assets (over 1 billion), and while that has been fixing things, it's going to take time before it is complete. The assets should return and if you want, you can post your project ID's here to have me speed up the process for your particular project.https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1246477869/
Can you see unshared projects?
Yes. Fixed.

Question Mark Bug won't leave my unshared project I haven't touched in weeks.
A few of my projects were affected and have no backups/newer versions made on other platforms available to me; the following are links to all of said projects I care enough for to ask to replace that I've found so far. (subject to change):data loss? thank god i archived my WX sim https://archive.org/details/a-normal-automatic-weather-simulation

I noticed this in a few of my projects, fortunately I had backups but I'd just like to point out something I noticed, in every single one of them it was (as far as I noticed anyways) always only the costumes that it was switched to, the costumes that weren't visible weren't corrupted, anyone else notice that?

Is it technically possible to fully restore every single asset that disappeared during this incident ?
