Server Problems or something...?
Well first of all, I uploaded a project a couple of hours ago and it never showed up. I know this probably should go in the Bugs and Glitches forum, but this next part is the main thing I'm posting about and I'm not sure if it's a bug. Or a glitch.
So I clicked on the Project Notes on the side of one of my projects to edit it, and all of a sudden instead of my original text in the Project Notes, this appeared in the box:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>503 Service Unavailable</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Sorry, our server is having some difficulties. Please try again.
--The Scratch Team</h3>
</body>
</html>
All these HTML tags (I think these are what they are, I've never really done any HTML stuff or website programming) were actually visible too, what I have pasted here is... well, verbatim, for lack of a better word.
I don't know what a 503 error is, but it appears that the server's having difficulties. (YOU DON'T SAY?)
Anyways, has anyone ever gotten this in their Project Notes?

Re: Server Problems or something...?
afraid not. It sounds like a unique glitch. In other words by some string of weird bad luck you got this glitch to occur. I don't think anyone will be able to help you on this one. Have you tried simply redoing it or something?
To prevent this from happening you might try backing up scratch projects by making separate projects (every couple days or every major accomplishment you save the project as a different project using the "save as" feature and continue working on that project. Then you save it as another project again and again and again. This leaves a string of projects each with added parts of the game accomplished till you finish it.)
You can then, if you want, delete the excess projects and be left with the one, glitch free, completed game.

I just figured this out. It's a remix of another project I made, but I forgot to change the name of my remix!!! No!!!! It replaced it.
