Hello,

The code preview on the right hand side of the page is completely blank and will not update when new code is typed into the editor. Also the "Run Tests" button is unresponsive. I have tried to use three web browsers: Goggle chrome, Firefox and Safari. All three web browsers have the exact same problem so I think perhaps there is something wrong with the FCC site currently or there is something wrong on my end. Is this a common issue? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

My code:

<style>
  .red-text {
    color: blue;
  }
</style>

<h2 class="red-text">CatPhotoApp</h2>

I am reporting an issue with the site itself. I have no problem with the challenge.

Note: I realize the code in the screen shot should be Class="red-text" not "blue-text". The issue remains.

@Aki-hiko Don't worry about @VarCI-bot It's a bot. Your issue is a real bug so you can safely ignore the bot.

Your issue might be a duplicate of this one though:

It sounds like you're experiencing the same bug that others reported earlier. Anecdotally, it's been reported that while you're waiting for the bug to be fixed, if you refresh your browser a few times, you may be able to proceed for a while.

A work around that performs for me is to refresh the browser until the tests show up and the display functions. (Usually not more than 3 refreshes).

The tests will usually be marked as passing at this point, but you'll need to run them again.

When that stops working (around 5 lessons), I close the browser window and open https://www.freecodecamp.com/ in a new window.

This issue has now been fixed. If you notice this problem again, please reopen it with an explanation of the problem. Thanks for reporting this.
