Max,

On number 2 below, I took a look at your code and it seems that it is
trying to redirect to the deleted micropost with the
'redirect_back_or...' call in the controller. Not totally sure why it
is giving you grief, but of course you could use some conditional
logic to see if the delete succeeds and redirect to root if it does,
otherwise send them back (the old-fashioned way). It would be more
explicit, too. Best of luck and whatever you do, don't give up! :)

Cheers,
Mark
