Sorry for a poor description but I am lost for words on this error. I am not 100% when this error surfaced, it seemed everything was going fairly smoothly throughout the project. Does anyone know where I could have went wrong or why I am getting this error? Thanks :)

6,310 PointsWhat does your user.rb file look like?
If you have recently added the full_name method, you may need to delete all statuses.
