We are getting a lot of calls from customers saying they are getting an error when they place an order saying it couldn't locate my order. We cannot duplicate the error when we do a test order. Here is one Email from a customer.

I tried to place an order a few minutes ago and I got an error saying it couldn't locate my order. I don't know how it could considering I was just placing an order for the first time ever with H&H Sign Supply. I went back and looked at all the fill in fields and tried again. This time I got an error saying hidden fields were not filled in. Did my order go through and I'm just an idiot, or did you not receive it? This was at 8:20 PM Mountain Standard Time on 11/18/08. If the order went through twice, please cancel one of the orders. If it didn't go through at all, please let me know what to do so I can place an order soon.

Hope someone can help on this problem.

We've been placing test orders in our cart and have received similar messages.

The "Hidden Fields' message occurs when someone hits back once, after placing an order - and tries to resubmit payment again. The hidden fields are (I expect) the variables being passed to the gateway. And since they've already been purged, they don't exist, but if the person goes back two or more pages, then they will see the cart items and can continue again through to checkout.

It would be good to have a better "error" message explanation to the customer - particularly for check out errors and card processing.
