15,197 PointsThe Code Challenges in CSS Foundations are non-responsive, specifically the Text, Fonts, and Lists lesson block.
Diego Lucero
10,588 PointsThomas, is there anything that you can see that works? I haven't looked at other sections yet to check, but if you know of some code challenges that are working, I will definitely dive into those ASAP. lol
Thomas King
15,197 PointsI know that the prior Code Challenges work fine, and I completed a couple of them this morning.
As for future Code Challenges, I do not know.

7,657 PointsI'm having the same problem for about an hour I think. Everything was working, I've completed several challenges without a problem earlier today, but now I'm trying to do the objects challenge in JavaScript and it's not working, keeps telling me it couldn't connect to the Engine
Diego Lucero
10,588 PointsI think it's because I just purchased membership. The server knows it's me
Thomas King
15,197 PointsHahaha! Yeah, Treehouse is a fantastic, but if I'm right, their staff is 'Pacific' time? They might be snoozing!
Tamar Mebonia
7,657 PointsAhah! The culprit is caught! Now, there's only one thing you can do to pay for your wrong-doings! You've got to purchase a year-long membership for me! Only then the mighty gods of one and zero shall forgive you!!! Get to it!
Diego Lucero
10,588 PointsHaha! I wish I could afford to pay for your Treehouse membership there, random stranger.
I think Thomas is onto something though. It's also Sunday. They could be snoozing for another 24 hours!!!!!!!
Tamar Mebonia
7,657 PointsI know you do, it's your heart's greatest desire I'm sure.
I'm not expecting anything until tomorrow evening my time, so I guess I'll busy myself viewing the videos and then just pass all the challenges at once. Why waste time?

Anton Kalenik
4,639 Pointsit works!!!
Tamar Mebonia
7,657 PointsPartly... i think oO. I did one exercise and on the next one I received the same message. But I received a response from the support team, saying they're working on it, I hope they can solve the problem soon. In the meanwhile I can just enjoy being a lazy-ass I've always been ^o^

39,199 PointsThis forum is more of a community forum than a support forum, it exists mainly for fellow Treehouse users to help each other out with understanding code not to provide direct support for the service.
Instead you should contact Treehouse support team directly by emailing help@teamtreehouse.com whenever you encounter a technical issue with the Treehouse system.
Tamar Mebonia
7,657 PointsWhich is something I did as soon as I encountered the problem, but frustrated people need to spill it out, most of the time. ^^
James Barnett
39,199 PointsTamar Mebonia - I'm with you on that. I think the best way in these situations, is to spend an email and then post in the forums noting you've sent an email. As well as noting that anyone else who has the same issue should send an email as well. The squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that.

838 PointsHiya Team! :)
We do apologize for the inconvenience or confusion that this may have caused. Our servers handling our Code Challenge engine went down late last night/early this morning. Our developers have fixed the problem, but please reach out to us via email if you continue to encounter trouble. Keep an eye on Treehouse's twitter account for the latest updates: https://twitter.com/treehouse :)
Best,
Elizabeth
