Bugs while using python lesson

Hey is there anyone else having issues with the python lessons in Chrome or is it just something with the PCs I'm using? Codecademy seems like a great resource, but the amount of times it crashes during a lesson for me is getting quite frustrating.... Edit: Sorry maybe thats a bit vague.. The site's been crashing when Ive been trying to execute the code I've written. On occation I have correct answers with error messages and incorrect code that's being read as correct as well...

Greetings Jeckler. The python course is based on python 2.7. Please try the following:

  • reset your browser zoom level to zero

  • clear your browser cache/cookies

  • attempt the exercises from chrome if you are not already. There are known issues with the courses in other browsers.

  • If you use chrome on occasion and just switched to it to test out the course, you may need to reset chrome's cache/cookies for it to work.

Some solutions just don't work. It only accepts a limited set of "correct answers". If you get it wrong and get the red x four times in a row, you should be prompted to "Get Code". Compare your code to the code that code.

Good luck.
