Build social network - validate on submission

Getting a "Task 1 is no longer passing" error. Can't figure out what the issue

lunch.py
from flask import Flask, g, render_template, flash
from flask.ext.login import LoginManager

import forms
import models

app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = 'this is our super secret key. do not share it with anyone!'
login_manager = LoginManager()
login_manager.init_app(app)


@login_manager.user_loader
def load_user(userid):
    try:
        return models.User.select().where(
            models.User.id == int(userid)
        ).get()
    except models.DoesNotExist:
        return None


@app.route('/register', methods=('GET', 'POST'))
def register():
    form = forms.SignUpForm()
    if form.validate_on_submit():
        models.User.new(email=form.email.data, password=form.password.data)
        flash("Thanks for registering!")
    return render_template('register.html', form=form)

There appears to be a mix of 8-space and TAB indentation in the register() function. It's best to always use 4-space indentation. Changing the 8-space to 4-space indentation makes the alignment error stand out:

@app.route('/register', methods=('GET', 'POST'))
def register():
    form = forms.SignUpForm()
    if form.validate_on_submit():
    models.User.new(email=form.email.data, password=form.password.data)  # lost 4 spaces
    flash("Thanks for registering!")  # lost 4 spaces
    return render_template('register.html', form=form)

Replace all tabs with 4-space indentation and it should pass.
