Lost the data in my Workspace?

Hey,

I've started the Customizing Colors and Fonts and I am trying to load my Workspace but all the codes I previosuly wrote during the other classes are gone. Did this happened to anyone before? If yes, there's a way I can fix it? Thank you!

Silvia, I also lost my data - my computer shut down twice on its own. When it restored (without me touching anything!) the personalized index file I was making was replaced by the project file Nick uses. ANyone know why this would happen?

This is a bug that was introduced within the last hour or so because of site maintainence that's been taking place.

Hopefully they'll have it fixed soon

Thank you for the answer, I am hoping that after they will fix the bug we'll be able to use our worspaces properly. Otherwise, I will need to write the code all over again :).

If you really want to keep working, most videos provide a downloadable zip file with all the course code up to that point. You can download those and open them in an external editor like sublime or textmate and work on them directly. Then you can preview them by opening the html file directly in the browser.

This is what I'm about to resort to.

Yes, this is a good idea. But how do I open the index.html files, in Notepad, for example? I downloaded with the Firefox HTML Document Extension, how can I work with it? I just open it in Sublime?

You can open the entire unzipped folder in sublime. Then you'll have a directory tree that looks very similar to the one from the online workspaces.

Then for previewing just open the html file in firefox (cmd/ctrl + o)
