Why won't it recognize the top padding?

I am on challenge task 4 of 4. I have previously tried refreshing the page and starting the challenge over. I keep getting the same error message: "The top padding must be 15px." It wants me to change the padding for the list items under nav to be padding on top and bottom 15px and left and right 10px. Please let me know if I did something wrong or if this is a bug in the system.

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

nav ul {
  margin: 0 10px;
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

Hi, just a detail:

From Challenge: Select the links inside the nav element and set their font weight to 800. Then, set padding on the top and bottom to 15 pixels. Set the padding on the left and right to 10 pixels.

So you want to target a elements inside nav, not li...

Try reversing the order and have 10px first and 15px after that :)

Good luck! ~alex
