14,016 Pointsworked after updating the url to. It seems the redirect was throwing it off for some reason.. "https:/teamtreehouse.com/profiles/" + userdata.username +".json"
Thanks!

Treehouse Project ReviewerNice job figuring that out!!
Just so you know for the future, always be sure to check the Teacher's Notes below the videos just in case of changes like this. There was a note there in regards to this but you're awesome for figuring that out on your own!

Treehouse Moderator 38,304 PointsAdam Lyles Kauffman nice job figuring it out. I made you answer the "Best Answer" because... well it was. And thought it might seem weird for you to make it the best answer yourself. Keep at it!
