Did you force refresh your browser?

Its hard to say what the issue is without seeing your code. But if you changed the HTML in the app, you restarted the lets chat server, and definitely forced refresh the browser (PC restart may not be sufficient) then I don't know. The next step is to open a new tab in Incognito mode (Chrome) and try again. If there is logic in the HTML somehow it could be that the logic is not triggered true to render your changes. I'm out of ideas at this point, but I suspect its your browser.

Not sure if this is related to the same issue you are having, but I noticed the Vagrantfile provided clones the letschat repo into the vagrant home directory rather than using the repo shared at /vagrant. I have a modified Vagrantfile at https://gist.github.com/brooksbrown/e1d19a7adc1de76c9619, which will allow editing files in the original directory.

Note you will need to vagrant ssh && start-lets-chat to get it running
