This is quite the mystery then. When I've tried your profile here it works absolutely fine. I select the profile.sb3 file, it warns me about overwriting the project, I click okay and it loads up fine. I've only tested this on PCs (Windows). What are you running it on?

That's it
It's a laptop btw.

I'm slightly baffled then. It should work fine. The sb3 file should be 3761kb. Other than that, can you test on a different computer if you get a chance? I genuinely have no idea why it's not working on that machine! Sorry.

Is there any way you can add an option so you can choose witch projects you want to appear right from the website instead of putting the #noindex tags on the project notes? This would make it easier so you won't have to go to the project pages of super-old projects just to write #noindex.

Maybe you could put check boxes next to the project names so you can just uncheck the ones you don't want

And earlier you were talking about make automatic custom thumbnails. I think that's a good idea too, but it should be optional. Maybe a check box under the picture that says use custom thumbnail?
The problem with doing it manually is that you'd have to do it again every time you update the project. It's quicker in the long-run to just add #noindex to them the once. I don't know whether I'll add the thumbnail option or not at the moment. If I have time I'll likely do it but it won't be for a few days at least.
You're right. The only way it would work is if it was on a cookie, but I guess it doesn't take that long to type #noindex anyway.
It was just a suggestion.

You've already made so many improvements to it since it was released a few days ago!

I tested with your profile here and it worked fine. Can you remember what you'd done when that error popped up? And/or can you try it again please as I may have been updating at the time?
Yep, looks like it's working fine now!

Suggestion - take the project thumbnails via cdn2.scratch.mit.edu, make a GIF and put the gif as the thumbnail.

It's a good suggestion and is something that I've been on the fence about since I started this project. I could make the GIF but the user would have to add it as their thumbnail themselves and I'm not sure I could cope with the number of questions that would cause

I got the no description bug now, but I think I know what's causing it. I think it's the same reason why when you change your profile picture it doesn't show up right away or when you share your project it doesn't appear in the search results. Or when you update a project the thumbnail doesn't update.

Will clearing your cache will help? And if it does, maybe you could add something to the tag instructions like “if your tags or descriptions don't show up, clear your cache.”

Of course waiting an hour also works.

I'll see if it's 3761kb.

EDIT: I got 3.7 MB that is equal to what RokCoder said. So this is an error from DieForrobux_New's side.

I recommend shutting-down your device and booting it up again (thus clearing RAM), then directly go here https://www.rokcoder.com/profile-creator/ and then try it out.

I found a bug with the color sliders on Windows 10, they slide horizontally instead of vertically so I can't choose the color:

My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Firefox 86.0, No Flash version detected

Edit: The bug is only on Firefox. On Microsoft Edge works fine.
Edit 2: The sliders still work, just they're tiny and horizontal.

Thanks for the report and screenshots - that's the best type of bug report (clear, accurate and descriptive). It was a nightmare implementing the vertical sliders as every browser seems to handle them differently. I'm afraid this might be a bug that stays. Apologies.

Thanks! The strange thing is the sliders worked on that browser two days ago. They only started doing that yesterday.

I am having an issue where the website won't re look at my details(i realized I hadn't properly hash tagged my games but the website picks up no new details after I reloaded it, went incognito, it just didn't update which is unfortunate)

I've had a look and it's definitely scraping the hashtags correctly. Have you checked the projects or hashtags tabs? It remembers your previous settings in a cookie so if you originally had none set, that's what it'll remember.

That was a lot harder to fix than expected. Oh for a little more compatibility between browsers…

I'm sorry if I caused you trouble.
