Strange. It's working now. Might have been user error.

Can you try again? You may have had bad luck as I broke something for like 5 seconds earlier today

It looks like it's fixed now but had the same initial experience.

Ok, I guess there was some temporary issue, it's working now.

I worked for me just now, perhaps a temporary glitch or something on your end?

Yaah this was happening to me as well, I just waited and now it works again.
