Ubercart is giving users a confusing message that could be explained a little more, but I'm not seeing where we can edit this. The flow goes like this to get the error -
- Anonymous user checks out and forgets to enter an email address.
- They click on review order and they see the pink warning field stating they need to enter an email address.
- Email address is entered and they click review order again, but what happens is the shipping is not calculated and the attached file error comes up, which is confusing to most people who see this because the shipping was already calculated the first time and the error doesn't mention the word shipping.

There are two options, fix the flow so shipping stays calculated or change the wording of the error to state something like -
Please calculate shipping quote again to proceed.

Thanks, Ben. We'll get on it Monday... I'd like to see the shipping quote stay selected, but I'm not sure how feasible it will be. At the very least I'll take your advice about the message.

Ryan - Is there a patch I can copy paste to change that message? Or let me know the location of it and I can write my own.

Ben! Sorry for forgetting about this. Honestly, we're somewhat at a loss to know what to do. There isn't really a good place in the form process right now to save the quotes they may have selected if it fails due to a required field error. Partly that is due to the smashing together of validate/submit handlers in the checkout panes' process $op. I think this ought to be changed, but it doesn't directly address your needs. Since that error message is coming from the normal quote process, hard coding it to assume this is someone's second time submitting the form would cause that message to be spit out even for first time submissions.
