NOTE: I recently shared the project in this image, and added a message saying that the variables aren't working and that you must comment instead.

I am experiencing this issue where in a project I'm working on that allows you to vote using cloud variables, each time the page is refreshed the variables are reset.

i think you have it so that when the green flag is clicked it sets the cloud variable to 0
try removing that

I think the cloud is still having problems. My very simple test https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/452064851/ will frequently reset the cat’s count back to 266 but you can see in the log that it has been higher.

However, can you try your program just using plain Scratch, no extensions and not running under turbowarp? From your picture there is a pause button.

I don't have that thing.

How do I remove my addons? Without losing my settings?

Yeah this isn't a problem with forbidden word, it's that the cloud is still having issues.

By the way, you can live without a pause button, but I'm not sure how to live without the Discuss and Help buttons.

That's not the problem, it happens without extensions too. And they're not using TurboWarp because that's not what TurboWarp looks like.

This is a current issue with cloud currently where it doesn't record, it is nothing to do with your Browser Extensions. So just wait it out or use TurboWarp's cloud.

You are right that people are having problems with the cloud servers but it’s still a valid debugging technique to ask people to test their programs under the actual Scratch interpreter. If they share their project then we can do that but when they don’t it’s fair to ask then to try because when something is broken and all you have is a description it makes sense to simplify.

I’m not seeing that it does not record. I modified my simple cloud tester to see how long it takes before the cloud variable delivers the correct value: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/452064851/ After 10 trials of reloading and restarting the program the range of elapsed time before the cloud variable switched to the correct value ranged from 16 to 198 seconds. However, if I had two instances of this project running in different tabs, the time to update the cloud variables in both was visually instantaneous.

I don’t know if that could be helpful to you or not. You might try opening two tabs and running your project in each of them, but after reloading one of the tabs you will need to do something in the project in the other tab to update the cloud variables.

BTW, I don’t believe that there is anything to be learned from running without extensions in this case. Just trying all options.

It's been doing stuff like this:


Look at how it's reverting..
When you go back into the actual project it shows the old value and changing it does that.
