Hi and many thanks for your help! This did work, however it doesn't make sense that I've had to do this in the first place! It seems like accessing the parent model of a child model is broken. I don't know if I'm doing something completely wrong but I can access my comments records from the user perfectly fine but am unable to access the User from a comment?
Does anyone have any suggestions why this might be?
