What does your StatusesController look like for the index method? I think you ran into a gotcha. That is, if there are no statuses to display, @statuses is nil.

Try doing this before listing your statuses (before @statuses.each and after the corrosponding end)

<% if @statuses %> <% @statuses.each do |status| %> random stuff <% end %> <% end %>

That way you can check to see if you have statuses in the first place ;)

Let me know.
