Challenge uses outdated syntax

This challenge requires the use of parenthesis at the end of the command, "current_user.is_authenticated". The entire line reads: {% if current_user.is_authenticated() %} However, the previous video marked in both Teacher's Notes and an annotation on the video itself that parenthesis should not be used because they are outdated syntax for this command, and thus the command should read: {% if current_user.is_authenticated %}

This means that this challenge uses outdated and obsolete syntax in its requirements for completion.

Noah;

Thanks for pointing that out. Sometimes libraries and framework updates like this happen and we update the teacher notes and add information to the videos for clarification as we did in this case. Updating our Flask content is on our radar and this is one of the things which will be addressed during the refresh.

Thanks again for bringing it to our attention.

Happy coding,
Ken
