Hi guys, i think this is a bug, yes? It is in the code Challenge Task 1 of 5 in Building a website stage 7.

The code challenge is the following: "Select the unordered list with the class contact-info and set the font size to 0.9em. Then, remove all margin, padding, and list styling."

The screenshot of the error and the code (which i think is correct) is here: http://imgur.com/kjGZbcY

Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance and i wanna say that i really like your teachings so far, i started yesterday night and i already feel somewhat used to html and css! :)

The ul has the class contact-info

By writing .class-info ul, you are selecting a ul within class-info. Since there is'nt another ul in there, nothing will change.

It may seem confusing, but there's nothing wrong with the challenge description.

It isn't so much of a bug as a difference between what they ask you to write, and what they check for.

I got it to work using the following code:

.contact-info { font-size: 0.9em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; list-style: none; }

With the ul selector, the answer is not accepted. Only if it is left out, the challenge can be completed. So you did the right thing basically :) This should be cleared up to avoid future confusion.
