The Scratch website is just that egregiously delayed when indexing new projects or profiles to be searchable. This is a known, longstanding, and common issue. It took many months for my projects to become visible when searching, and that was a couple of years ago. It doesn't have to do with the complexity of the project.

I made a thing and it's kind of fun :

I know this is off topic but the Not-So-Boring platformer just got taken down for being ‘innapropriate’??? Scratch Team WHAT?!?!?!?! It's not even innapropriate in ANY way…

is it OK to post works that will crash the site on Scratch?

Hello! I have a question with cloud variables; for one of my projects, https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/977967715, I used cloud variables to make a world record system. (I used the same code for a different project and It worked.) However, with this project whenever someone gets a new world record it saves, but whenever you refresh the page it just goes back to the previous world record. (Basically it's not updating for some reason.) Can you help? If not, do you know someone who can? Thank you!

The most common reason for this is because the people that save the new world record are registered as “New Scratchers”, and only “Scratchers” have the ability to save cloud variables. This is also disabled for non signed-in users. Another reason is that you might have backpacked the cloud variables, which changes them into normal variables with the cloud emoji Infront. Usually, it's just the fact that the user is a New Scratcher. To become a scratcher, the person in question has to post comments, love & fav, post projects, and be on scratch actively. You'll get a notification on your profile when the scratch team thinks you're ready. By the way, I can't access your project, but it might be a problem with project code (I would check if I had access).

Rename the cloud variables (you can rename them back afterwards).

Magst du in meinem Studio für deutsche Scratcher mitmachen?

No, try any newer cloud project or cloud project from before the August maintenance:

Does not work (same for deleting) all the time from what I have seen, though did when I tried in my newest project (well renaming)
Though it should not even happen in the first place
Edit: Try creating a new project, it happens, but rename the var

Fun_Cupcake_i81: Well then if you didn't want it back maybe you need to time travel to last year and fix that

Oh wait if you could time travel I think we all know exactly when you would go-
user1: That picture is from 2.0. Now he’s at my house and is my pet.
user2: But this is medians we're talking about, so “from 2.0” can mean the same thing as “from five seconds ago”.

I tried to make a game where you click a button and it would be saved for the next person but it didn't work. I've also heard that it hasn't been working since 2013.

Hello everyone. I don't know if I'm necroposting. If I am, I'm terribly sorry. The problem is, i made a high score on my cookie clicker game and a high score player to display the player who beat it in game. But the problem is, when I broke the high score on my alt account to see if the high score works for all the people, it was displayed in the game but on the see data page, it doesn't show it. I waited for about a week…. I'll send a link to my game down below if anyone can help me. Thanks!

p.s My alt was a new scratcher account. Is that a reason??

Yes. New Scratchers can't use cloud variables.

I was having a problem with the cloud variables getting messed up and corrupting my leaderboard. I have removed them from the code for now.

The problem is that every once in a while, the username “sdfdsgfxg” changes the data value to “890858479”

I thought it might be someone messing around but now I think it must be a BOT or some bug, because its been going on for a while every few days.

Does anybody know what this is? Can it be stopped?

Now the newly created cloud variable is not working.

That's not a bug. Cloud variables can only store numbers.

That's not what I meant. If you check out my game and look at the cloud data, you will see the username sdfdsgfxg and the data value 890858479 every few days for the last month. I don't think this is someone doing this, it must be a bot or a bug. I've found this in other people's cloud data as well.

Why not just make the cloud variables work in the first place though?

The account sdfdsgfxg doesn't exist so it shouldn't be able to set cloud variables.
