After the custom field stopped working, we tried sending the custom data (JGCards-Amazon-To:{EMAIL}-Message:{MESSAGE}) via the other inputs ... just to see if we could pass the data we need to pass via one of the other fields .... no luck. None of the fields we tried showed up in the transaction details.   <div id='paymentForm' style="display:block;"> <form id='paypalform' action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="paypal@*******.com"> <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name1" value="JGCards-Amazon-To:{EMAIL}-Message:{MESSAGE}"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="JGCards-Amazon-To:{EMAIL}-Message:{MESSAGE}"> <input type="hidden" name="custom" value="JGCards-Amazon-To:{EMAIL}-Message:{MESSAGE}"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="JGCards-Amazon-To:{EMAIL}-Message:{MESSAGE}"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="{AMOUNT}"> <input type="hidden" name="currency" value="USD"> <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0"> <input type="hidden" name="cn" value="Guest"> <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> <input type="hidden" name="custom" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.*******.com"> <input type="hidden" name="cbt" value="return to *******"> <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF:logo3w.png:NonHosted"> <input type="image" src="images/checkout.png" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">   ...
