(38,206 posts)I couldn't even get an account created, because it told me my first name, last name, and email were not unique. I have no clue what that even means. It doesn't get any more unique than my name and email.
I finally decided that it would be best to wait a couple weeks instead of getting so frustrated. That kind of stress can't be good for a person's health. If it is still bad in a couple weeks after the initial rush of people clogging the system has died off, then I'm going to complain big time. I don't know who I am going to complain to (anybody who will listen probably), but I will complain then.
Look at the bright side, isn't there supposed to be some kind of thing written into the law to keep you from catastrophic bankruptcy if the stress of trying to get through that damned frustrating web site finally makes you either pop a blood vessel or smash your head on the keyboard too hard out of frustration to continue?
Joking aside, don't stress over it. Wait a couple weeks, then try again. Maybe, they will have these hideous errors worked out by then. If they do not, look for the woman with Y A W E T A G and a cow symbol on her forehead sitting there crying in the emergency room. That will be me.
