Which part of the challenge are you having problems with? I just went through it and it was all straight forward CSS which you would have learned about in the previous badges.

Hi Neil,

I've had that happen myself, but it's usually when there's some internet connectivity issues. I just passed all 3 tasks without an issue. Below are a few tips on how to possibly get things to work.

  1. Check with your ISP to see if there are any outages.
  2. Try some other websites to see if there's intermittent issues.
  3. Do a speed test to check your speeds.
  4. Reset your router and cable modem by unplugging them for a few moments.
  5. Make sure you've also restarted your computer.

Treehouse is extremely busy, however, they usually do get back with you. Please take into consideration there are a lot of students here, and web traffic can also be high at times—though rarely have I seen their servers not perform well when it happens.

We're here to help. Let us know if any of that resolved your issue. As a precaution before you click something, always copy your code to a clipboard so you don't lose your work.

Thanks for the advice. Turns out that normal service was resumed once Adblock was switched off. It never was a problem before, but, such is life.

The problem is I type in the answer. 'Working' is displayed for a minute or so, then the message 'Oh no! There is a communication problem. Restart Code Challange or contact support'. I am using Firefox. I tried Chrome. The same thing. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. Its more than I'm getting from Treehouse after 2 days
