    Hi Niall,
    We tested it on various browsers, both on Windows and Mac machines, and seems to be working fine. Is it possible that it was an internet connection problem? If you test it again and it still doesn't work for you, please contact us at editors@infoq.com so we can further investigate the problem.
    Thanks,
