The instructions say to change both margin-left and margin-right to auto. Yo u have only done one. You also have a stray opening curly brace in the middle of the #menu properties.

I can’t see your code properly in the post. Add Three back ticks (```) in a separate line before and after your code block.

is this any better ?

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

You removed ALL the curly braces.

Look at your other css to see the format.
