You have an extraneous “links” definition before the first “style” tag. If you remove that, it should work.

Have had the same problem on the same test for 2 days straight now. Try using a different browser as that’s seemed to work for most people except me lol. Good luck.

thank you @arjunnij, I do not have any extra “links” definition below my starting “” tag. I checked the code again, I could not find the error.
But thanks again for your answer.
Sincerely

Hello @hazong and @arjunnij, welcome to the FCC community! :slight_smile:

@hazong, I think what @arjunnij has meant is there are two .links definitions. One is right at the top before the <style> element, and the other within the element. I have copied and past your code and commented to highlight this:


// remove this definition as it is outside the style element, and you already have the same definition below.
.links {
    text-align: left;
    color: black;
    opacity: 0.7;
  }

<style>
h4 {
  text-align: center;
  background-color: rgba(45, 45, 45, 0.1);
  padding: 10px;
  font-size: 27px;
}
p {
  text-align: justify;
}

// This is the same definition as above
.links {
  text-align: left;
  color: black;
  opacity: 0.7;
}
#thumbnail {
  box-shadow: 0 10px 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.19), 0 6px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.23);
}
.fullCard {
  width: 245px;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  border-radius: 5px;
  margin: 10px 5px;
  padding: 4px;
}
.cardContent {
  padding: 10px;
}
.cardText {
  margin-bottom: 30px;
}
</style>

I hope this will help you. If it still does not work, let us know.
Good luck!

Hey Madalena,
thank you for your answer. The code snippet above the “” tag was so to say an error when I was about to explain my problem, because I didn’t know how to use the editor.
But my code does not have that code.
Sincerely.
