It happened to me when i was going to backpack sprites for an animation as well

And it happened again when i was going to backpack a text engine sprite from Scratch 2.0 and it showed the question mark box and that text engine is broken, and i also turbowarped it as well, but it didn't work either. There are 2 reasons why that engine is not working, first of all, the creator, said that text engine will not work in Scratch 3.0, and the other reason is because of server issues

The link to that text engine i was trying to use is: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/172111618/
and here is another version that will work in Scratch 3.0: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/262564340
and here is an even better version: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/402906014/

I was going to remix a project but my wifi went down and then i reloaded it and then one of the sprites got the question mark bug, luckily i reloaded it and wifi came back and then the question marks were removed.

j-ohn-nie

this is due to the sprites being corrupted, or the costume failing to load.

The best it to reload the page or close the tab without saving, then reopen after some minutes passed. duh.

Before doing that, I have to warn you something: DO NOT EVER GO TO THE CODE EDITOR OR SAVE THE PROJECT, OR IT'S PERMAMANT.

I am so wega

(some of the sprites have question marks like the “Other things folder//TV” sprite)

This happens often for me too! On both unshared projects and shared ones. Refreshing tends to work for me. If you can access what the costume looks like, try just pasting the costume and deleting the question mark. it's impractical, but works.

The question mark bug happened to a lot of sprites i was going to use but i did not realized that the question mark bug was there. I have checked a lot of costumes and sprites made from Scratch 2.0 and some of them were either question mark bugs or a sprite that still works but doesnt work at the paint editor, some are still working btw

I'm assuming no discussions about this meant the question marks are gone… (for now)

Is anyone going to discuss about them..?
