My page has two notice messages??

Whenever I log in, I get the styled success message, as well as a generic one below it that isn't styled. This only applies for the notice messages. Any idea where the second one exists? I can't find it on my application.html.erb

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Treebook</title>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag    'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
  <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>
<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top">
  <!-- <div class="container"> -->
    <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
        <li><a href="#" class="brand">Treebook</a></li>
        <li><%= link_to "News Feed", statuses_path %></li>
    </ul>
    <ul class="nav navbar-nav pull-right">
        <% if user_signed_in? %>
        <li><%= link_to current_user.full_name, edit_user_registration_path %></li>
        <li><%= link_to "Log Out", destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete %></li>
    </ul>
    <% else %>
    <li><%= link_to "Register", new_user_registration_path %></li>
    <li><%= link_to "Log In", user_session_path %></li>
    <% end %>
  <!-- </div> -->
</nav>
<div class="container">
    <% if flash[:notice] %>
    <div class="alert alert-success alert-dismissible" role="alert">
      <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">
        <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span></button>
        <%= flash[:notice] %>
    </div>
  <% end %>
  <% if flash[:alert] %>
    <div class="alert alert-danger alert-dismissible" role="alert">
      <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">
        <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span></button>
        <%= flash[:alert] %>
    </div>
  <% end %>
<%= yield %>
</div>
</body>
</html>

You probably have one at the top of one of your show or index views (or in all of them).

Yeah, your statuses/show view:

<p id="notice"><%= notice %></p>

and your index view:

<p id="notice"><%= notice %></p>

I fixed that but it's still happening on the index page. I can't see why.

Your index.html.erb still has this line: 

<p id="notice"><%= notice %></p>
