Can you be more precise about the problem you're having? because when i'm testing your code, the images goes side by side and resize... i took a screenshot: http://hpics.li/352d143

I have a feeling it might be a problem with workspace because things very similar to this have happened over and over again but my code is correct. If i wait a day and try again without changing anything the code will then miraculously work, however this time even that didn't happen. Ive just tried once more with the same code and it still doesn't work. I am using safari on a macbook pro 2015. Any ideas?

So I've tried once again and finally it worked! Thank you for your quick response and I'm sorry to waste your time however i don't think the changes should be happening 24 hours after i apply the backend changes. any idea why this is happening in workspace?

No problem dude. I'm not a safari user so I can't help you on that. But I had some problems with workspaces too. Sometimes it's just a bad day , and for the rest of the month it just works fine ^^. However, try to reach the Treehouse support and explain them your problem, maybe they'll find a solution !

enjoy your course :) bye !
