[Patentcenter] trouble uploading data into ads?

[sa at ashleypatentlaw.com]

Is anyone having trouble uploading data from a prior application into a new ADS?  When I input the application number and confirmation number of the prior application it finds the prior application but when I click the proceed button it doesn't import any data- nothing happens.  Have tried on chrome and microsoft edge.

Subject: [Patentcenter] Another big-as-a-barn can't-get-an-application filed bug in Patent Center?




A couple weeks ago when nothing was working, using Patent Center, I tried to file a PCT application with an ePCT zip file.   Nothing was working (I think that was the day Patent Center just crashed, seconds after I submitted this very application), so i didn't pay the fees.
The application papers are in the Patent Center file wrapper, but the "Application Information" page is not populated.
I need to pay the fees.   I check all the boxes and -- the fee for "International Filing Fee (first 30 sheets) with ePCT zip file" isn't in the selectable lsit.  The only fee is " INTERNATIONAL FILING FEE (FIRST 30 PAGES - FILED ELECTRONICALLY WITHOUT EPCT OR PCT-EASY .ZIP FILE)" (which isn't me), and the listed fee is pretty clearly wrong, based on my RO101 from ePCT.  I have goofed around a bit to try to get the right fee calculation, no can do.
I have about 10 more days before the fees must be paid.  Should I just wait until the application gets to WIPO, and then pay ePCT?   Or send a paper check?
I have not called EBC.   I don't need them to tell me that Patent Center is misbehaving and that they can't do anything about it.
