Rails update_attributes for current_user

I have a boolean ajax setting that I'm updating and after update call the "current_user" var for a flash message--problem is, the current_user in the flash message contains old data (pre update-attribute).

What's the best way to refresh the current_user data without a page reload?

It's likely that your current_user code looks something like this:

if session[:user_id]
@current_user ||= User.find(session[:user_id])
end

In which case, the cached value would not update after you make the above update—have you tried updating current_user when you make this update so it's available when the flash happens?
