I am not using a mac.... i guess it means the server is full or something because im sure a background is not bigger than 10MB i'd guess every1 is having the same problem beacause the same thing has been on newest projects for 47 minutes

It's just the server. It should be back at the latest in a few hours

It is definently the server! I have been on the computer for 5 hours and haven't seen a new project upload since.I hope it updates.I cant live a day without scratch!

Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback.                              http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

When it says that the file may be to big that Is just a defensive mannuver that scratch does whenever the server has a delay or is offline.

Yeah, that's because the server doesn't care how big the files are right now - it won't upload anything.
