I just joined and am running through the basic HTML courses (already know this, but working up to JQuery to start learning).
I'm on my free trial/ 1/2 month free term but I keep seeing this message:
<p style= color:orange>"Bummer! This is just a preview. You need to be signed in with a Basic or Pro account to view the entire video."</p>
Note that I am able to still watch the video, but for some reason I'm seeing this message anyway.

Chris Shaffer
12,030 PointsYeah, I actually did put in my payment info but don't get charged the fee until May 1. I doesn't seem to hurt anything, but it's kind of annoying.
Maybe this is our first bug test.
Tom Bedford - no, it doesn't. For what it's worth, I came back from a restored Ubuntu session from using the site yesterday. I then signed out, cleared cookies and tried again; same issue.

Consider it a working example of why attempting to write "clever" code in fewer lines is inferior to just using a few more lines and having conditionals that are clearly outlined. (:

Courses Plus Student 5,450 PointsGreat! Thanks. If it helps, I'm using Ubuntu like Tom.

Robert Prevost
Courses Plus Student 5,450 PointsOh, yeah. My fault.
