Hi,

I just donated to the gallery and went through my paypal account. Donation worked just fine. Pressed the return to merchant button after the donation went through and this came back:

The donation seemed to work because once I had completed, the page said the payment went through and listed bharat as the recipient, or at least his name was mentioned. My paypal account was reduced by the requisite amount and all was good. It was only when I finished, paypal give you a button to take you back to where you came in from and it was this button that failed to take me back to the right place or with the right form info. I guess the return path from paypal is pointing to an invalid path? Not sure.

Cheers,

Lee

I was looking through some of the web pages on gallery.sf.net and it would appear that the forms on this page http://gallery.menalto.com/donate&donate_tag=website_footer have an incorrect hidden field value for the return path. This value http://gallery.sourceforge.net/donate_thanks points to a non-existent file.

Cheers,

Lee
