    Hi,

    I cloned your form to test it and when I complete a test submission I am indeed redirected to your custom thank you message:

    Are you still unable to get this working with your version?  Without any changes made it seems to be OK.  It is a bit difficult to test your version of the form without submitting an actual payment.  However if you would like to only test the thank you page, set your product cost to $0 and it will bypass the PayPal screen.  Let us know and we will be happy to see what else we can find.

    I can’t explain why it is happening, but below is the message they are receiving. It was the message we used last year in 2013. Below that is the message they should be receiving, which is new for 2014. Is it linked somehow incorrectly?
    Thanks for your help

    Okay I think that we understand now and thank you for clarifying this problem more.

    I took a look at your form and I can verify that your thank you page message is set to the second message which you said that it should be.

    However, I found that you are actually speaking about the "Autoresponder" which contains the first message as a thank you confirmation via email to your users.

    So this is the reason they are seeing that first message which you mentioned is incorrect and you would need to update it to fix it as well.

    You guys are the best!!! We fixed the “autoresponder” and it appears to working correctly now! I can’t thank you enough!
    Can you tell me what links our form to the autoresponder message and not the thank you message we thought we were using?
    We are just now using Jotform, and had cloned another form to get started, so we are not real knowledgeable about
    all the steps when you start from scratch. Where can I find documentation on the difference between the “autoresponder” and
    the “thank you” message?
    Thanks again!

    Thank you for the lovely feedback.

    Our support team is here to help, so contact us whenever needed.

    The thank you message is the page that users will see in the browser after submitting the form. The auto-responder is an email that is sent to user filling in the form and that might include a copy of the filled in form. 

    You can see here more information on auto-responder emails and email notifications (emails sent to the form owner or other pre-defined email address). For more information on Thank you page/messages please consult this guide.

    If you need further support please let us know.
