Good job @dprincecoder

Can you try attaching a video proof for this bug starting from the step where you click on 'Challenge forum' link? You can use any screen recording tool and keep the video duration as short as possible (under 30 seconds would be good unless the steps to reproduce the bug are complex)?

In a paid Bug hunt project, providing a video proof for a functional bug is must. so this would be a good chance to practice making bug videos. (Audio is not necessary, Just a video with exact steps to reproduce.)
