Finally, at 11ish last night, after the second day of waiting on "Fetching Data", frozen screens, bouncing from computer to computer in my house, 2 different versions of IE and finally using Google Chrome, I got the PDF of my trust uploaded, money paid and status is "Submitted". I'd read of the site being a POS, but damn! Hope tax refund season hasn't crowded the approval process and slowed approval times.
Yep. "Down for Maintenance" is kinda like rollin' through McD's drive through late at night and hearing "the shake machine is broken."
Submitted a Form 1 today with zero issues using Google Chrome. It was slow, but it never froze up or had any errors.
Got this today: "The eForms System will be unavailable for industry use each Wednesday, from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (EST) in order for ATF to conduct routine maintenance and processing. Please direct any questions about this message to eForms.admin@atf.gov." I've never seen this before, must be the first Weds I have ever logged on.....
