How are You Supposed to Ever Complete a course when the Damn Site is always having problems? I don't know Now if what

Thanks Buddy I am going to have a Drink and watch some Football and just mellow out Hell after all it is Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi William,

Sorry to hear that you are having some problems running the code challenges. What kind of issues are you experiencing? Are there any error messages?

Bothxp: Thanks Yes it keeps stating that the site has experienced an error, gives me the option to restart the code challenge and to contact "Support" if it continues!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was expecting that it might have been the "Oh no! There was a communication problem." error. In which case I'd have recommended that you make sure that the page has finished loading completely before you try and complete the challenge.

I had some problems a couple of weeks back with the final code challenge on this course. It kept giving me the communication error problem. It turned out that something was slowing down my connection to the site and I just had to leave the page for around 5 minutes. So I know just how frustrating it can be but that issue did go away very quickly.

I believe that the site admins at Treehouse did do some work a week or so ago to add some extra capacity to the servers that ran the code challenges.

I've been using the site for nearly 2 years and I can honestly say that I have very rarely had problems, but they do happen. It could be that there is a temporary issue on the site that is causing the problems, but if it does continue I do highly recommend that you take a look at https://teamtreehouse.com/support and let them know.

William are you still experiencing issues? If so, you can post the code you're using for the code challenge here and I'll take a look.

Thank You Jeremy!!!

I don't know what I am NOT doing right?

I am trying to complete Task #2 in the code challenge and keep getting a 404 error

string firstName = Console.ReadLine() ;

Console.WriteLine(" + string firstName + ") ;

I have watched the video probably 20 times now!!!!!!!

I'm missing something??????

Hi William,

I'm still not sure why you are getting page not found errors when trying to complete these tasks, but I can help you out with your code.

You have got your 1st line correctly declaring your string variable and then storing the user input into it. When you want to write the contents of your string variable back out to the screen all that you need to put between the brackets of the WriteLine is the name of the variable.

string firstName = Console.ReadLine() ;
Console.WriteLine(firstName) ;
