Thanks for your suggestion message doesn't show.

When sending the form it won't show the "Thanks for your suggestion!" feedback message on my setup here.

I am not using the workspace, but my own environment on Django 1.10 . I have downloaded the s1v2 file to work with and on views.py, suggestion_view() I have:

def suggestion_view(request):
    form = forms.SuggestionForm()
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = forms.SuggestionForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            send_mail(
                'Suggestion from {}'.format(form.cleaned_data['name']),
                form.cleaned_data['suggestion'],
                '{name} <{email}>'.format(**form.cleaned_data),
                ['kenneth@teamtreehouse.com']
            )
            messages.add_message(request, messages.SUCCESS,
                                 'Thanks for your suggestion!')
            return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('suggestion'))
    return render(request, 'suggestion_form.html', {'form': form})

[MOD: added ```python markdown formatting -cf]

Can you format your code?

Code Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

      ```html
      <p>This is code!</p>
      ```
