HTML Treehouse Club: HTML Publish a Story Introduction to Workspaces

Workspaces never refreshes! Can't view changes! Google Chrome! Tried Incognito, but still no go.

I can get it to open once, but even after a couple of hours, it continues to open the old version. I'm saving all the changes before refreshing and reopening (refreshing before the viewing page and workspaces page), tried using incognito and also tried the disable cache function as recommended by another user. Still nothing! I'm using Google Chrome. Have closed everything, reopened, edited and saved, and it still uploads the older version. I got it to change once, but then it stopped when I came back a while later.

I read in a different conversation to refresh the preview page and it worked for me! Now my changes are FINALLY showing.

I can confirm that if you refresh the page, it will show the changes. You should only have to refresh once as well. Meaning, once I had refresh the page, it worked for me every time afterwards I made a change. I didn't have to refresh again after each change I made there after.

Have done that. Saved it after making all the changes, still does nothing.

The little red dot even goes away when I save, so definitely saving properly. It's like the browser doesn't even pause a second to think when opening it.

Give Firefox a try. I personally love Chrome, but Firefox just seems to do the job better and more consistently in the case of these workspaces.

Just did, still managed to open up the old version. The copy of the text I opened on Firefox had already been changed and edited, but still managed to open up the same old thing, no copy of which had even made it to Firefox. It did let me change it the one time, but that's it. Thanks for the suggestion though! Also, tried Firefox in private.

It sounds like another user is also having an issue with workspaces. So it is either something obscure or an issue on TreeHouse's side. I told the other user to contact help@teamtreehouse.com since it will probably be quicker to get help from a staff member that way.

Hope your issue gets resolved soon. :)

http://port-80-bs1pjezbaq.treehouse-app.com/ is the name address it's opening at.

Thanks, will do! Changed to my wife's computer and it let me put in some changes, but will only open one file name, so still not really working properly. My computer did that earlier as well, and then when I came back I couldn't change anything. Going to check on her computer in an hour and she what happens.

Changed computers and started working with at least index.html file. After that it started back up working on my computer as well. Really quite strange. Other people had issues with this as well, so I figure there must be something else behind it, but for all intents and purposes it's going again.

For the first module, it was only willing to do / show changes on the index file for me, but then it started working for everything in the next exercises. I still don't really get it, though.

Try saving the program. Press Command-S on Mac and Control-S on Windows.
