I then closed that browser down completely and just for kicks reopened it. After a minute, it allowed me to sign on, even though the other two browsers on the other device were still queued. I heard similar mysteries from others.

Morals:
a. Try to use different browsers on different devices. It seems the entry to the sign up portal is random at this time.

b. If you should ever get that red circle at the end of the application to "Submit," just reload the page and (ouch) start over.




Obviously, it's best to hedge your bets with multiple devices.
I think Multiple Devices is a big part of the problem. The system may show 50,000 users but it's actually 50,000 browsers. If everyone just used ONE, it would probably work a lot better. It's like buying up all the toilet paper to keep others from getting some.
