Courses Plus Student 246 PointsThis tasked asked that I preview the game prior to making the change. Why did it count as a negative (ie Bummer!)?

231,275 PointsThe challenge checks your work whenever you preview to be able to (possibly) issue a helpful hint. But there's no limit to how many times you can "recheck work", and it does not keep a count of how many "Bummer" messages you get, so there's no need to be concerned about it.
After you've seen the current operation of the program, just go back to the editor and complete the task.

Courses Plus Student 246 PointsI didn't ask this. Why is it appearing under my name?
