Hi,
Yes, you are right. The "error messages" keep displaying even though you close the "Ask a question" TAB. It can be fixed with couple extra JavaScript codes. I am forwarding this request to the developer team. But how many times this would happen in the real world?
After the message is sent, the new page is the "Thank you" page. It is because how Virtuemart was developed. We can't do anything to change this behavior.But this message appears:
Thank you for your Question. We will contact you as soon as possible. [Back to Product Page]
If you click the "Back to Product Page" button, you get back to product page.
regards.
