Yesterday, I made a new project called ETF12 Tries to Cross the Pit Renewed. It was a revised version of one of my older projects, hence the name. However, I found out that there was a problem with a sprite called Witty Comments. But first, I'd like to tell you about that sprite and what I used it for:

The Witty Comments sprite appeared if the character failed to cross the pit in the project, and is different every time this happens. Examples of witty comments include: “Focus!”, “Yahhh… You were so close” and “Be nimble like Umbreon!” Today, I found out that there was a duplicate witty comment (there were two “Focus!” witty comments) and that one of the comments had a typo ("Lost? Firghtened? Confused?;“ it was meant to say ”Lost? Frightened? Confused?"). I tried to fix them but then this ominous error message popped out:



I tried removing the Witty Comments sprite, and the project was fine. But I didn't want to remove the sprite, so I brought it back to the project like it was before…and the project didn't want to save. I tried removing the thumbnail sprite, and the project was fine again, then stopped saving once I undeleted the thumbnail. I tried removing both sprites, and even when I tried restoring one of them, the project refused to save.

I created a blank project and added a sprite in it, and it didn't save. This may be a problem with all my projects where they didn't save when I added sprites.

If this problem also occurred to you through the day, then it's most likely caused by problems in the Scratch servers. If not, then I'll try turning off my browser extensions or clearing my browser history.

I can't give you a link to the project I told you about because it's currently unshared. However, I'd like to hear from you! Let's discuss this problem!

It seems like everyone (including me), have been having this problem, It happened on the two of my computers too, I'm not sure what it is, I hope this gets resolved soon.

Same here it is super anoying

I have the same problem. It looks like some bigger assets of my project (some sounds and one costume) can't save. The Scratch server returns a 500 error for them.
Edit: Now it returns a 502 error for all assets

it's so anoying! st could at least tell us why or something!

Me too! i have a sprite called “Playersub” for my submarine game “Ship sinker” but it won't save when i try to add it in!

it saved now when l moved a script but it didn't when l changed something

Me too! i have a sprite called “Playersub” for my submarine game “Ship sinker” but it won't save when i try to add it in!

Edit: now it says scratch servers are down

Servers down?
Or is my router on fire?
Also working on a game that is really good called ‘The Eyes in the Dark’ but I post it because it wouldn't let me!

OMG!! This happened to me today too! Same day weird? Is it happening to everybody?

Somebody better complain to the scratch team. I WILL.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Sorry, you have to wait 60 seconds between posts.
I DON'T HAVE PAITENCE U KNWWWWWW

Alright, I've just contacted them. Let's c what happens

Same here. I was uploading some art (It's slightly high quality because of firealpaca's rendering) and nothing was saved. I downloaded the stuff I did in scratch and tried to reupload it too. It seems the only things that save are the title, descriptions and notes & credits.

What saved for me was only scratch cat in the beginning u know. I put the background and that didn't even save. Doesn't matter, I contacted them.

Same for me, but i can sometimes save them (but that only happend to me like twice today) This already happend to me yesterday one time and a bit before, but i thought, it would have saved and in the end it was just a project with scratch cat, but with a saved thumbnail….

It's like this:

when green flag clicked
if <<(if changes happen) = [yes]>> then
don't save
end

Yeah as if someone CODED it to happen to EVERYONE

I think it's happening for everyone.. so lets just wait for ST (scratch team) to fix the problem, ig
Till then we should (to not loose what you did) save the project to our device till it's fixed.. and at least we can do other things here till ST fixes it

Well. It appears that this problem happens to everybody. I think we've found out the reason for the problem.

I hope the Scratch Team will resolve this by tomorrow. I'll try re-adding my witty comments to the project I unshared and see if that'll be OK tomorrow.

I'm not gonna close this topic yet, just in case. But thanks! I appreciate that I found out everything I need to know! I just wanted to find out if this happened to somebody other than me.

Hi Guys!
Good news! I've emailed the scratch team and they're replied. This is what they said:

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out, and sorry to hear you were having trouble! Earlier today, we experienced a bug that affected project saving. This issue has since been resolved. Unfortunately, we are unable to recover lost work from this time. We know it's frustrating to lose your work, and we apologize for the inconvenience that this caused you. If you're still having problems saving your project, please let us know by replying to this email.
