Erased top yellow element where alert messages are placed.

I previously erased the top yellow element where the alert messages appear. So now that I've added the correct codes for the alert, notice etc. messsages the color with the alert message takes up the entire div including my name and all the statuses. I know I need to add that yellow bar but I just can't remember where it was placed.

Sounds like you are missing a closing </div> tag. Here's the standard code for flash messages in application.html.erb

<% flash.each do |type, message| %>
        <div class="alert <%= flash_class type %>">
            <button class="close" data-dismiss="alert">x</button>
            <%= message %>
        </div>
    <% end %>
