I've sent this to the help desk. Any solutions here from the user community?
Thanks...Martin

25,940 PointsI've had this problem too sometimes recently. It might be a network or server issue. I've been just closing the alert using the "X" and then refreshing the browser. (I copy all my code before refreshing so that I can paste it back in afterwards.) Submitting the challenge usually works the second time.

Treehouse Moderator 145,840 PointsThis seems to be happening across many courses. Sending a notice to the Support Team is a good idea to make sure they are aware.
Just a hint/tip though: When the modal popup window with the 'restart' message pops up, just click anywhere in your browser window (not in the popup) - The popup window will disappear and then just click submit again for the challenge/quiz. This has worked for me pretty much 100% of the time. This way you're not constantly redoing the code.

25,940 PointsAh, that's right, I just have to submit again, not refresh. I agree this "solution" works fine.

25,492 PointsI've been having the same issue. I just close the popup, copy my code and click check work again. If that doesn't work, I reload the page and paste my code in.

Treehouse Moderator 145,840 PointsYes! Make sure you copy your code first incase it doesn't work... forgot to mention that. :)

11,273 PointsYeah, I have definitely been copying my code.
Well good to know it seems to be a Treehouse issue.
Thanks...Martin

2,372 PointsI have been having this problem constantly (as of September 2016). I messaged Treehouse but they tell me the problem is with MY network. I'm not getting any satisfactory answers and this is extremely frustrating, to say the least. I don't know what to do.

Brackets is what I use each day.
Atom is another.
There are other options as well.
