Well, someone has to pay....
The 100% discount was set up for specific wholesalers of the client. I use it for testing so I don't have to mess around with entering a CC# for every test order.
I did enable the Free Charger and that seems to solve the problem (orders in the GV/DC category are now labeled as "processing" and not "pending"), but I'm still stumped as to why this was necessary in the upgrade.
But hey, if it works, then I won't complain. And thank you very much for your help -- it's very much appreciated.
