Thanks Sjoerd, i might upgrade if needs be. I've been looking in
./vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/locale/en.yml though and
it looks like i should be able to change the basic format for all error
messages: it has this line

en:
activerecord:
errors:
full_messages:
format: "{{attribute}} {{message}}"

Which i thought would mean i could change it to

format: "{{message}}"

which would globally remove the attribute name from the start of all
errors, which is fine as i can add it back in on an
attribute-by-attribute basis or stick with custom messages for
everything.

But, it doesn't work. I'll keep hacking away...

cheers, max
