Hi everyone. For some reason the screen layout has changed and looks as follows (attached). Do I need to pay to get the original screen layout back? How can I fix this?
The preview does not want to move further to the right where it always used to be. In order for me to now see the preview I have to make the coding section smaller?
Please assist!

that doesn’t look correct. Can you do an hard refresh with Ctrl + F5 ?

Excuse my ignorance. My keyboard does not have an F5 key. What can I do?

Try the step in incognito or private mode.
or - Disable any/all extensions that interface with the freeCodeCamp website (such as Dark Mode, Ad Blockers, or Spellcheckers).
or - Ensure your browser is up-to-date or try a different browser.
I hope one of these will work for you.

It is working in incognito mode. How do I get it to work in my normal browser mode? I don’t have any extensions and my browser is up to date.

Try cleaning the cache of your browser for the site, or research how to do an hard refresh for your browser+operative system combination
Hello and welcome to the forum community @Jbboss !
Have you attempted a complete shutdown and restart of your computer. (Not just a restart). I am not sure if this will work for you; but has helped me on occasion when things go ‘out of the normal way’.
Wishing you good progress on your coding journey.

Shift + Ctrl + R
Should work as well in Chrome.
The layout is saved in localStorage. If you clear cache and site data (called “Cookies and other site data” in Chrome) and reload the page, the layout should reset.
You can also manually do it using the browser dev tools if you know how to. The key is called challenge-layout.
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/storage/localstorage
Or run localStorage.clear() from the browser console (it will clear all, so be aware of that).
