Did you write the complete address "https://www.twitter.com/user" or you put just your username?... Because i did it today and just with my username. Try it...

What does your code look like? The button is a picture, the picture has to be there and the link to it has to be accurate.

You said the "link" works. I imagine, if we did the same course, that you are referring to your a href=. However, the img src= is also a type of link, it is a link to the picture which is probably not quite right.

Hi Vicitor,

Can you post your HTML code with 3 backticks (```) followed by 'html' on the line before and 3 backticks on the line after please?

This will then display it like this so we can take a look:

<body>
     <p>This is my code</p>
</body>

Thanks

-Rich

Without being able to see your code, it's difficult to know how to advise you. I'm sure you've already checked to make sure your code is the same as what's shown in the video. I'll suggest the following, however: -Check carefully for small mistakes, like missing semicolons at the end of declarations. -Check your image file to make sure the images uploaded properly, so the code can "find" the image. -If you are running security software that blocks ads, like Adblocker, or Ghostery, make sure you disable them for Treehouse. I found that to be the problem when my icons for Twitter and Facebook wouldn't show, but the link otherwise worked.

I hope this helps!

Dude, you need to post your code and give us more context. This is like going into a forum and asking "Why does my car not work?" with absolutely no details whatsoever.

The Facebook and Twitter images were removed but the files were kept there. Most likely due to copyright infringement.
