When I'm looking at a specific user (for me, I was logged in as admin and looking at the admin profile), when I go to view all posts by them (The view all link) the navigation in the top-right, that indicates if I'm logged in and gives me a couple of user options, makes it seem like I'm no longer logged out. Instead, it shows "Sign Up", and "Login" links where it should show "admin", "settings", and "Logout" links. This is the only location that I found that does this. Note that when you navigate away from the view all post's page, it displays as logged in again.

About 92% of the rspec tests on this project fail when using a MySQL database:

Finished in 45.585351 seconds
523 examples, 479 failures

The error for every single one of these failures relates to the Rollback that is being done:

Mysql::Error: SAVEPOINT active_record_4 does not exist: ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT active_record_4

With a small google search I found the following issue when trying to use Rollback, DDL statements, and MySQL (or most other databases?):

https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/1925-mysqlerror-savepoint-active_record_1-does-not-exist-rollback-to-savepoint-active_record_1

The issue comes from issuing DDL statements (TRUNCATE, CREATE TABLE, etc) - because MySQL automatically releases all savepoints when a DDL statement is executed. I'm not sure where the exact problem is, or what DDL statement is being issued (I suspect it's one of the test-related plugins that have been installed), but this makes it rather impossible for me to 'trust' the code for beast so that I can build my app on top of it.
