Hey, I'm currently following your tutorial and encountered a problem.

using Discord;
using Discord.WebSocket;

public class Program
{
    private DiscordSocketClient _client;
    static void Main(string[] args) => new Program().MainAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
    
    public async Task MainAsync()
    {
        // When working with events that have Cacheable<IMessage, ulong> parameters,
        // you must enable the message cache in your config settings if you plan to
        // use the cached message entity. 
        var _config = new DiscordSocketConfig { MessageCacheSize = 100 };
        _client = new DiscordSocketClient(_config);

        await _client.LoginAsync(TokenType.Bot, Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("DiscordToken"));
        await _client.StartAsync();

        _client.MessageUpdated += MessageUpdated;
        _client.Ready += () => 
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Bot is connected!");
            return Task.CompletedTask;
        };
        
        await Task.Delay(-1);
    }

    private async Task MessageUpdated(Cacheable<IMessage, ulong> before, SocketMessage after, ISocketMessageChannel channel)
    {
        // If the message was not in the cache, downloading it will result in getting a copy of `after`.
        var message = await before.GetOrDownloadAsync();
        Console.WriteLine($"{message} -> {after}");
    }
}

I copied exactly this extract from your guide, but my output in the Console is just ->. If I just print one of the arguments (Console.WriteLine(message);) it still just prints out empty space.

Why is that and how can I fix it?
