I'm getting a "Not Authorized" error when trying to launch a workspace. Halp

It's in CSS Layout Basics: Create an Image Caption with Absolute Positioning segment.

I'm on the "CSS Reset with Normalize" course and I'm getting it too. Maybe there's a problem with the Treehouse server today?

It fixed itself after I kept refreshing my browser and trying to open it. Worked after 5-10 mins

Hmm, that's good. It didn't work for me until I went to the next video. I had to just take notes for the video that wouldn't launch workspaces (I tried refreshing 5 times and clearing cache). Oh well, no big deal.

I had the same issue. It occurred when changing to a new workspace for a new project within the same course. Originally using Chrome, switched to IE and still no go. A reboot worked fine. I should have tried Shift+F5 first (which would give you a hard refresh that ignores cache rather than just F5 or refresh key). I would suggest trying a hard refresh first and if no go, try a reboot. The best option to possibly avoid future issues might be to make sure your browser is cleaning your cache with every refresh - instructions here - http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/
