That, I do not know. You'll need to step through the addRequest() method
of your model to debug it.

_forward() invokes another action *in the same request*. If you want the
address bar to change, you're wanting a redirect, and should use the
_redirect() method or the Redirector action helper.

The isChecked() method checks the value assigned to the button. You need
to first populate the form for it to work correctly:
$form->populate($this->getRequest()->getPost());
if ($form->yes->isChecked()) {
} else {
}
Second, the form action is only going to affect the action attribute in
the form; it sounds like what you want to happen is to select which
controller action is invoked based on the button selected. If this is
the case, use _forward() or simply call the action directly:
$this->indexAction(). One note: _forward() will ensure the appropriate
view script is selected automatically but requires an additional
dispatch cycle, whereas calling the action directly will require you
update the action in the request object manually, or manually select the
view script to render.
