Problem with "Add social media links" in Web design course

Hello!, I have a problem with the second code challenge, when I add the links to the images I get an error message. I would appreciate if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong:

<footer>
      <a href="http://www.theverge.com"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="facebook icon"></a>
      <a href="http://www.theverge.com"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="twitter icon"></a>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>

What does the error message say?

That's the strange thing, the site says "Congrats! You completed the challenge!", but immediately a pop up shows telling me to restart the challenge. In the course track the challenge appears unfinished.

Ok, I don't know why I didn't think of that, I did it on firefox and now I do get more information of the problem:

[Exception... "<no message>" nsresult: "0x805e0006 (<unknown>)" location: "JS frame :: https://wac.a8b5.edgecastcdn.net/80A8B5/static-assets/assets/application-40f70e5673021030b22af6c6341423c0.js :: .send :: line 8401" data: no]

Did you already try to restart the Quiz? It looks like some problem with the site, if you already try that, use diferent links on the href, just to be sure hah

I've restarted the challenge several times with different links, even with Google's homepage! :(

Are you talking about the question made by the challenge? is this one:

Challenge task 2 of 2 Inside the <footer> element, wrap the Facebook and Twitter images with links to your own accounts. If you don't have a Facebook or Twitter account, any other link will work.

I contacted support and the told me to post in the forums, but perhaps it's as you say and this is in fact a bug or something...
