Hi sorry I sent a message to the scratch team about it before seeing this. I am very sorry if it caused any type of inconvenience. I was able to remake the missing files and I saved them to my laptop.

Thank you so much for fixing this know i could get back to my work Hey folks -
We have become aware that a number of projects that were edited since the morning of 4/8/2021 may have been afflicted with an issue that caused some of the costumes or backgrounds to appear as “gray question marks”.
We believe we have fixed the issue so that projects can now be edited without turning costumes or backgrounds into question marks. However, if you do have projects that were affected, we recommend that you do not do any further work on them. We are looking into the possibility of restoring those projects to an earlier version that does not have the question marks - and we don't want you to lose any more work.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

This bug is very annoying. What is causing it? I have seen this in other scratch projects but I thought it was intentional until now.

Hello Scratch Team. You have been pushing a liberal political agenda on this site for far too long. This site should stay out of politics. People should be able to still post their political opinions, but there shouldn’t be any “official” political stance or Scratch. The ST is not going to change this on their own, and shoot down any attempts asking them to change. Please put this in your signature if you agree that
Scratch should be politically neutral.
The ST’s biggest defense is that they’re being welcoming, but they can be perfectly welcoming of all people and stay out of politics. Scratch is about coding, and that should be the Scratch Team’s biggest concern to maintain.
This is my signature. I am allowed to adertize here.

What is causing it? I have seen this in other scratch projects but I thought it was intentional until now.

Hey scratch team, that would be awesome. My project ‘map’s magnificent makes' had this problem yesterday, and I ended up saving the project. I hope this problem can be fixed, because I need my project reverted to the previous version as soon as posible, as I want to open my shop as soon as possible! Thanks for working so hard on this, the scratch team is awesome at sorting out these problems!

Cool, how are you planning to revert projects? I've seen quite a few people affected by this …

It is probably a problem with their assets server. So, they might just fix it. (but people who clicked see inside and saved the unknown sprites have no way to recover - unless the scratch team has a backup) Cool, how are you planning to revert projects? I've seen quite a few people affected by this …

Thanks for addressing this!It’s kind of weird how the question mark in the editor is off center but the preview and the project have it in a different font and centered.
Also, I'll give you a screenshot showing a case of the issue.

Ok, I have a project that I've gotten some good progress on, but the bug happened to it. It made me kind of worried when Paddle2See said we recommend doing no further work on them cause I have a lot of stuff done and I think I might have to start over. Is there any way I can finish the project without having to start over?
