place Img not working

When I got to the section where the instructor places image place holders to the website in workspaces, I tried to change the pixel numbers, but for some reason its not working, I can't put 400 by 400, did anyone encounter the same problem?

I don't have any trouble with it, but I noticed someone else did just a few hours after you posted this. Perhaps they had a bug but it's fixed now.

But if not, it's easy to manually construct a URL to fit your needs:

http:‌//placeimg.com/width/height/category

Just replace "width" and "height" with the desired size in pixels, and "category" with one of: "animals", "arch", "nature", "people", "tech", or "all".

Perhaps it's a browser issue? I'm using Chrome. But does the manually-constructed URL work?

I have the same problem. I think it is a bug.

It still works for me. I just directed my browser (Chrome) to http://placeimg.com/400/400/any and I see an image that size. What do you get?

I had the same problem- figured maybe it was a Safari issue. I am so happy I figured out a workaround (just typing in the URL) on my own!
