It appears to have been an on and off problem all day. It is being investigated.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have the same issue. Did it resolve itself on its own or did you have to do something to fix it?  
I’m just trying out this code and since I can’t do even the simplest thing, it isn’t very encouraging.
