working on lesson 11 in the tutorial and i ran db:populate to show 50 microposts for the first 6 users

but when looking on browser page it says "Posted ago" on all microposts

in micropost.html.erb file:

<tr>
    <td class="micropost">
      <span class="content"><%= micropost.content %></span>
      <span class="timestamp">
        Posted <%= time_ago_in_words(micropost.created_at) %> ago.
      </span>
    </td>
</tr>

any ideas?

update 1:

trying to trial and error and when i change the ago. to agooooo. just to see if it changes on browser... it doesnt... i restarted autotest, spork and, rails s to see if it would show the Posted agoooooo. and nothing changes just holds "Posted ago."

update 2:

if you need to see my show.html.erb file

<table class="profile" summary="Profile information">
    <tr>
        <td class="main">
            <h1>
                <%= gravatar_for @user %>
                <%= @user.name %>
            </h1>
            <% if @user.microposts.any? %>
                <table class="microposts" summary="User microposts"> 
                    <%= render @microposts %>
                </table>
                <%= will_paginate @microposts %>
            <% end %>
        </td>
        <td class="sidebar round"> 
            <strong>Name</strong> <%= @user.name %><br />
            <strong>URL</strong> <%= link_to user_path(@user), @user %> <br />
            <strong>Microposts</strong> <%= @user.microposts.count %>
            </td>
    </tr>


</table>

Update 3:

adding the help. before may work but im confused why when i change Posted or ago to different words they dont change at all on the browser... whats the best way to send a full refresh so server sees these changes... tried restarting rails server, spork and autotest

Update 4:

I somehow have 2 _micropost.html.erb files in different locations.... solving problem now will post again in moment

Update 5:

I had a micropost folder with _micropost.html.erb file inside my users folder... which i had open

the correct micropost folder inside app => views => microposts => microposts.html.erb was missing a = in the <%=

I had been editing the wrong file the whole time i believe

As for adding a helper. -- it didnt work but it lead me to the problem -- so i consider that a solution in my book!

thank you very much ardavis!

Looks like you need to add 'helper' to the front.

Check out this page. It looks like he created his own custom method to make this better. Might help you.
