I recently just updated to rails 2.0.1, and since all my .save methods  
dont seem to work, as if they are just skipped.

no errors are outputed, and no update sql statements are showing up in  
log file.

sample code im using…

def mark\_answer  
if(params[:id])  
question = @current\_user.questions.find(params[:id])

```
  if(question)
    question.question_answer_id = params[:answer_id]
    question.save

    notification = UserNotification.new(:user_id =>

```

question.question\_answer.user.id)  
notification.body = @current\_user.login + " has marked your  
answer as the solution "  
notification.save

```
  end

  redirect_to :action => 'show', :id => params[:id]
else
  redirect_to "/404.html"
end

```

end

A new notification gets updated to DB, but nothing question isnt  
updated.

Any ideas?

Try changing the save to save!. It should throw an exception about why  
it can’t save
