Re: Contribution Problems...

should all be fixed now ... we ended up having to rebuild the whole online
store over the past couple of weeks, due to some major problems with the
old site :(  let me know if it still isn't working, or if there are any
problems ...

USAand entered an amount in the amount field.  I clicked Process Order, and got an error message saying I needed to
enterat least one quantity or service, and my amount was cleared.  I re-entered it, and it was accepted.  This is
re-producible. The script looks like it should work, but it doesn't until you submit twice and re-enter your
contribution. Then I was sent to a secure web site, I accepted the certificate, but the page didn't load.  After 4
tries,it finally did.

contributionform should be only one item.  The Stuff link ought to be separate IMHO.
