as yesterday and today, when I finished a lab in the web academy, it was not marked as solved in the main page.I even follow the solution just to make sure and follow the exact steps and still the lab is not solved. I just want to report this so that it is possible fix up the bug. Do let me know whether this is from my end which i didnt solve correctly or miss something or on the server side. thanks in advance. Regards :)

Hi Fareez, Are you able to provide us with the name of the lab that you are experiencing issues with so that we can take a look for you?

sorry for the late reply. Lab: Stored XSS into HTML context with nothing encoded. the script triggered alert 1. but the lab is not solved.

Hi Fareez, Just to clarify, are you entering the alert(1) script into the comment section of the lab as detailed in the community video (by Michael Sommer) that is shown under the solution section of the lab? I have just attempted this and the lab solves successfully for me (whilst using Firefox, Version 90.0.2).
