Having trouble backpacking things?

musicROCKS013

To OP: Does clearing the backpack actually make things better? I feel like a lot of scratchers think it does, but in past experience I’ve read that it didn’t help, so is this just a misconception then?

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.

I don't really see how it taking longer means it is easy to fix. It actually proves one of the two: either it isn't on their priority list, or it is a hard problem to fix and is taking the ST a long time to fix in between moderating the site. There is no way to prove it is an easy fix, because chances are you don't even know what the issue is. Of course it is “server issues” but that is a very broad term, and could vary from an issue in the code in those servers to an error in the actual hardware of the servers.[

DUDE, WHY DOES SCRATCH HAVE THESE SORT OF THINGS IN THEIR OWN WEBSITE. DO THEY HAVE A MENTAL THERAPY OR WHAT .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.

Every software more complicated than pong has to have some glitch, right?

Basically, I tried exporting my character list, and that broke, that’s why I was forced to move accounts.

…you weren't forced to move accounts. that's just being stupid. you're not doomed.

This seems to be affecting everyone by the number of bug reports, so let's keep discussing this here.

Don't worry about the rest of your backpack, it's totally fine. Just close and reopen it and everything will still be there.

If you can do so on your computer, just right click and export anything you need to download so you can carry them over to another place without the backpack.

O-
..i never thought about that.

Exporting sprites is a thing nobody really uses anymore. There's not really a point to use it, most of the time.

Hi, I'm trying to backpack a song, but it wouldn't load and it only showed “error loading backpack”.

I tried everything, including clearing my backpack, but nothing seems to work at all. How can I fix this so I can get my backpack back?

Just a question, did you read the original post? It is an issue happening to lots of people, and there is no current way to fix your backpack other than exporting and importing the music to your project.

This is my signature! Don't get mad at me or anyone else for advertising here.
If I don't respond to a post right away, I'm probably in school at the moment or busy with something else.

I literally can't save (anything) new in my backpack, period

EDIT: I don't wanna sound too whiny, but this has been happening all day, and i can't fix it, what's going on? (note: I'm on a Chromebook)

Yeah but what about people that don't have a PC.

I change Devices a lot, because I like playing Roblox when I have the chance, so I'm usually on Mac or Chromebook. I don't use mobile. I'm using Mac right now, so that might be the problem. I'll try and do it when I have my PC.

DONT YOU DARE LOOK HERE

I Had The Same Issue But I Removed Things From My Backpack And Now It Works. It Could Also Be Your Wifi/Internet

But I'm not using a school computer over the summer, and this substitute computer's files are like a labyrinth.

The ST has a lot to worry about right now.

Moderating the site
Fixing trending (it has been frozen for like 30+ days)
Saving issues
Backpack issues
Question marks in projects

Okay, ST, we in the SOSC kind of need Backpacks… a lot. Without them, we literally can't update assets or save… anything. Not to rush but… we kinda need help… badly, same with saving, why did these errors happen in the first place?
