I am on task 2 of 2, and can't find out why exactly this thing doesn't work. Someone help!
I know I ask lots of questions about Flask. But hey! I gotta learn!
Thanks in advance! ~Alexander

@app.route('/register', methods=('GET', 'POST'))
def register():
form = forms.SignUpForm()
if form.validate_on_submit():
flash('Thanks for registering!', 'success')
models.User.new(
email=form.email.data,
password=form.password.data
)
return render_template('register.html', form=form)
