Why Scratch is Down

Okay, first of all, this username is the one I made roughly 8 YEARS AGO and I have made many good projects; Anyways, ALL Scratch variables on the cloud are not working along with all searches. The only way to get a project from searching is to look up something and click the studio for it, then hope the project you want is in it. Some of my projects have cloud variables and some don't but most of my good projects do. I just don't understand. Scratch has been down for about 2 months (At least where me and my friends live), Everyone that loves Scratch is going insane. So please, I have no clue why this is happening for so long, because this has happened several times before, someone fix it already! Thank you for reading this comment.

Scratch servers tweakin

I tried using CTRL + S (keyboard shortcut to save on Scratch) and it kept giving me errors. I opened a new tab and logged onto Scratch and my profile on the top right isn't there. Plus, the "What's Happening" and "Scratch News" things that would greet me as I logged in were gone. Even weirder, all the featured projects, studios, remixes, and loved projects all had the title of "Project" with no thumbnail at all. Hopefully I'm not the only experiencing this issue.

I think I know why scratch is semi-down

So I can comment on people's profiles, but I can't share projects or comment on projects or studios. People keep saying it is because someone made a teacher profile and then made 200+ student accounts which caused the server to crash.

Project save/account servers down.

Project servers have been down for hours since 7 PM yesterday. It's 12 PM today. Can't save for the life of it. 450 block project, rewrite of my birthday counter, but nope. I could move to Turbowarp, but I would lose quite a few perks of Scratch Addons..

I tried to save a project with 1 block and one costume and it immediately said nuh uh. I tried refreshing, downloading, saving on another project, changing wifi, restarting my wifi, restarting my computer, tyring on my ipad, trying on my phone, trying even on my damn TV, hell even my quest 2. While im at it I might as well try my ancient phone. on EVERY DEVICE, no matter what I tried, it wont save and occasionally just say its down. But only sometimes, so its not down down just down. All I want to to is make a project while I have ideas.
This has taken 5 minutes to write and as of finishing I still have saving issues.

How to Fix the website bug.

Try refreshing the page your currently on, if that doesn't work, then force close all tabs on your web browser window. That should fix the issue. You might just be having a slow internet connection or the servers are very slow with loading pages.
