Scratch

Sometimes I do "housekeeping" and remove some projects from my Scratch page.

Sometimes I have had reason to re-upload some of them. It has always gone without a hitch.

In the last two days I tried to re-upload two projects of mine so I could send links to people to demonstrate some scripting --- and I've gotten an error message.

It says that the upload has been denied because the project had either been censored or previously deleted. (In about 200 projects in 3 years, none of mine has ever been censored or flagged, so that's not likely the problem.)

Is this a new policy?
Or some kind of error.

---When I have about 150 projects online I have a hard time finding any one of them among all my pages!! So I sometimes delete some of them, always knowing I can put them back if there's reason.

If this is a new policy, will everybody have to keep ALL of their projects online forever, for fear of not being able to reload them?

That's scary. yikes
I'd try it, but... neutral

When I'm on a proper computer, I'll upload a test project, delete it, and try uploading it again. wink

I hope that you can still update projects that are already shared.

Thanks for testing!

Yes, I just updated a project that was already online. So that is intact.

(But I had deleted all my Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas projects thinking I'd upload some of them next year.....so now what??!!!)

I hope this is a temporary glitch!!! hmm

Maybe it doesn't like the fact that you're naming the projects the same thing as the ones you deleted. Try naming them something like 'New So-and-So' or 'So-and-So Updated'.

Chrischb · 2010-03-15 23:23:51

You have to use the same name if you want to re-upload a project...

Says who? You just upload it again

Jonathanpb · 2010-03-16 01:36:15

If you want to update a project - deleting it, sharing the updated version under a different name, and then changing the name to the original doesn't work. You don't delete the project - just upload the updated project with the same name. It'll take the place of the original project.

Why would they disable re-uploading deleted projects? It worked fine the way it was... hmm

Can the scratch team clarify?

So let me get this straight.
You can have a game with 100 love its and 100 favourites and 300 views
Then you make the original a piece of garbage no sprite 1 script rick roll, and it would keep all the good comments and love-its?

Yes, that's always worked fine. And is very useful for improving projects even over a long period of time.

But now if we delete a project (to reduce pages so one doesn't have to keep searching around among 150+ projects online; or because the original upload doesn't work well online --timing issues-- and one wants to revise before 'officially' sharing the project; or any number of reasons) we have two choices:

1. Re-upload it under a different name and lose all the comments, Loveits, etc. And also lose it's proper place historically in one's projects...

2. Never delete a project.

Personally, I don't care for either of those.

I wish I could delete my projects

It was a fix to a security loophole that appears to have had unexpected side-effects. A change request has been put in to fix this new, unwanted, "feature" smile
