Workspaces broken? Asks to choose port for preview now...

I'm pretty sure that something is wrong with the workspaces for the moment on Treehouse.

I'm unable to see the photos in my project through the workspace preview now, it also prompts me to select a port before opening the preview window. If I download the project though, it all works out good, hmmm....

Any ideas or anybody with the same problem?

I have the same problem! In the past I was never asked to "choose a port"

So photos working now again. But I still need to choose a port for the preview, what's up with that?

My guess is it's related to Workspaces adding support for Ruby and Python. As in most cases if you want to know why Treehouse changed functionality of the app you will have to ask them directly (help@teamtreehouse.com).

That being said, a standard web server runs on port 80. I tested it out with a Workspace from the How to Make a Website course, port 80 is what you want for any HTML or CSS courses using Workspaces.
