Stuck at Simple Ruby Application

I'm currently at Stage4 (Creating Relationships). I'm using the latest Ruby, and latest RoR.

I'm having a problem with storing the user_id. I've made all the steps this far, and whenever I go to edit a status, and update the user_id it simply doesn't store the user_id!

I'm stuck there, because I can't keep going forward on the lesson while I have this problem!

This is the code I'm using, exactly the same as the video!

<div class="form-group">
     <%= f.input :user_id %>
     <%= f.input :content, label: 'Tweet', label_html: {class: 'control-label'}, input_html: {class: 'form-control'} %>
</div>

The only difference is that on app/models/status.rb, I don't have attr_accessible (whenever I add this, another problem raises). This is my status.rb

class Status < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :user
end

Hope you guys can help!

Check your rails version at the command line

rails version

The course was written with Rails 3 in mind, and they've changed quite a bit of stuff since then. Check out this thread: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/nomethoderror-in-statusesshow
