You’re forgetting quotes:

background: url("https://i.imgur.com/MJAkxbh.png");

Was this the issue you were referring?

Oh sh*t, sorry, it seemed to work on the screen without the quotes but then when I submitted it wouldn’t accept it

Yeah, I had the same problem. Instructions are unclear in this lesson.

So glad I found this thread. This has been bugging me for ages. It totally does appear to work without the quotes!

For me it was not passing the test because of a space between ‘background’ and the following colon…

Just because browsers allow it, doesn’t make it syntactically correct. If you check the docs: MDN - background-image, it clearly shows that the url should be quoted.

However, the fact that it looks like it’s working is confusing. I personally think this could be rectified with a better error message and / or adding explanation to the stub of “Get a hint”.
