>Yes I did and got a confirmation page and number. I guess it wasn't as crowded today as yesterday I could barely contact the site.

Thanks, Alex. That's what I expected to happen, too, so I figured something went wrong when it didn't. What's weird is that there were no error messages, just an almost-immediate redirect to the home page during the payment validation step. Guess I'll find out what happened later today when I talk to tech support again.
