The biggest problem was that there was no problem with my internet. It&#8217;s been like this for a few days now.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve checked online for a solution, and the problem seems to be on their end.<strong> They are upgrading their servers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I did find a way to use it. I usually save a copy of the cards I create. If I double-click on one of these saved cards with the <strong>HMK<\/strong> extension, it will open in the program editor. You\u2019ll still get an occasional \u201c<strong>server<\/strong>\u201d pop-up error.
