Hey Julain, Thanks for the kind words.
I saw another error message I'd like to see improved. I was fooling around with some view code, and in the process broke it. When I posted the form I the view created it called the create action. The form didn't create a hash with the name of the argument for the create action so I got a Bad Request error. I think it'd be more helpful if there was a message along the line of "create action expecting an argument called appointment, params hash does not include a key named appointment" . I think having a topic about improving error messages is a great idea, and I'm happy to be a part of it. -Max On Oct 27, 10:01 pm, Julian Leviston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > HI Max, > > It's precisely because you're a nobody that makes you the ideal > candidate for giving advice on how to shape the framework.
