Why won't the validator recognize this padding?

I have retried this challenge many times, and I keep getting the same error code "The list item padding top must be 15 pixels." Please let me know if I have done something wrong or if this is a bug in the system.

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

nav ul {
  margin: 0 10px;
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

Hi, in case you couldn't get an answer for your question: The task was to add the font-weight and padding to all links inside the nav. You styled the list items instead.

nav a {
    font-weight: 800;
    padding: 15px 10px;
}
