could be a mess up on my configurations. but ill check it later on. i also have workflow-ng configured to set the order status to completed and roles are set to be granted upon order completion. ill look into it some more and post my findings.

[edit a few days later]

oh lyle! i hate 'bugs' that fix themselves without bothering to explain the hows and the whys. after i threatened the code (as forcefully as i can at 4am, i might add), and after disabling both payment gateway options and re-enabling them, it _just_ decided, for the heck of it (to mess me up, im sure) to work.

so there. im considering it case closed until it decides to act up again. thanks though.
