Creating Relationships Problem

Ok I am at the stage where you edit the show page and add in the full_name variable so that it shows the users full name. Now this works fine on the show page, but if I copy and paste that exact code to the index where it shows I get an error. I find it odd that the exact same code works on one page but errors out on the other.

Ok I figured it out, rather than having @status like in the video its just status.user.full_name without the @ symbol
