Hi @timothy-commins . Just following up to see if you are still running into this error.

[timothy-commins]

No, it is fixed.

Im not familiar with the term "ping" Im assuming you want me to send you a copy of my code that we both can work on over github, is that correct?

[sgbaird]

Sorry, forgot to say ping me over slack 🤦🏻‍♂️ so we can set up a time.
