Css background image stopped working despite no code change

My background image was working fine. Then, without me changing the code, it stopped working. The URL I referred to exists and ends in .jpg.

When I first load Thimble the background shows up for a split second, then disappears again.

Here is the code

       background-color:#051c1c;
       background-image:url("http://www.rosesandrattlesnakes.com/cssbg.jpg");
       background-repeat: no-repeat;
       background-size: cover;
       background-attachment: fixed;
       background-position: top center;
       color:white;
       font-family:'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;  
       text-align:center;     
       padding:0; 

I tried removing the quotation marks. That didn't fix it. Tried removing www. That didn't fix it. Tried making the link https. That didn't fix it.

Also, hints doesn't work, whether the checkbox is ticked or not.

Gotta say Thimble kinda sucks. Sorry

I don't have the issue. I'm just trying to mark this as solved so I can get this question out of the AAQ workflow.
