yeah i had that problem for a while too .. a month or so ago. the only other suggestions i can give are to keep trying the challenge when you have time. It certainly sounds like a server side issue, iv noticed they will happen from time to time when treeHouse is doing maint, backups or up dates to there system

When you loop through an array, even if it's numbers like this one, you don't want to use the values to loop. Your loop is actually starting with the 100th item in the temperatures array, and there are only eight. The challenge wants you to loop through all the items (i.e.: from the first, which is 100, to the last, which is 10), but you still need to do them in order of their position in the array, that is 0 through 7:

var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10];

for (var i=0; i<temperatures.lengths; i+=1){

  console.log(temperatures[i]);
}

it sounds like your having a communications issue with the workspaces server, try restarting your browser and or computer or check to see that you dont have any programs running in the background that might be slowing down your system causing your workspaces to time out then check your network connection , ryan's code is solid creating a for loop ti iterate threw an array index is a best practice for lack of a better term.
