I haven't used scaffolding in Rails for quite some time so I'm not clear on what you're asking but have you tried asking this on Stack Overflow? There are a lot of Rails devs on there & you'll generally get an answer pretty quick. As for tables & general MVC stuff, there's plenty of tutorials & although I haven't used them, these guys <http://net.tutsplus.com/> have a pretty good reputation. The Rails forums suffered from a lot of spam (as also did the Ruby one) so they're snafu & also with all the security concerns at present about Rails, everybody's caught up with that I should imagine. Hope some of this is of some help to you. Good luck!
