Create Map function in Classic Story Maps not working?

Question

Hi, I'm using Classic Story Map Journal for a university class project.  The map builder interface was working just a few days ago, but now when I select "create map" for the main stage area the map builder hangs up and doesn't open.  I've had this problem with Firefox and Chrome.  I've had multiple reports from students who are having the same issue.  Is this a known issue?  Is there a workaround or fix in development?

Thanks for the reply.  I've tested it again and now it seems to be working fine on both browsers, so maybe it's just an intermittent problem.  This is a remote class, so it's not a network issue (we're not on the same network).
