I am running Opencart 1.5.6.1 with a theme installed and i am having trouble getting the customer comments that are entered during the checkout stage to display in the backend admin or on the admin confirmation email that is sent once an order has been placed.
The only thing that seems to display in the backend under comments is the bank account details if the bank transfer payment option is used. I would prefer that the bank account details and customer comment is displayed however the comment is the most important.
I am setting up an online gift store and need to have the comments which i have renamed "personal message" to display on both admin and customer email. To try and sort this i have purchased an extension which sends me and the customer an html type email rather than the standard opencart email as i know the comments do not display on the standard opencart email.
My only thought is this does not display on email because it does not register the comment at the backend of admin.. has anyone else come across this same problem??
Any help will be very much appreciated..

Cheers
