  • COLAs Online registration

    So the TTB's various websites were apparently coded by a thousand monkeys laboring at a thousand typewriters, only instead of the works of Shakespeare they cranked out pretty much what you'd expect they would.

    I'm trying to register for COLAs online through TTBOnline.gov and I cannot for the life of me make it past the Company Information page. It pops up a window, I fill it out, click 'ok' and NOTHING HAPPENS. On two computers in three browsers. Ok I get that it was designed for "Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher" (joy) but I'm using IE 9 on it and nothing.

    Anyone else experience this? Or just as importantly, anyone breeze through it like a boss? Should I just mail in a hard copy and lament the current state of government IT?

    Ok, figured it out. For those of you experiencing this Problem That Should Not Rightly Exist: you need to go to Tools -> Compatibility Mode and set IE back to the Stone Age.

    Onwards and upwards!

      i had similar issues. changing to compatibility mode helped, but yielded other issues. i eventually installed IE7 which is supposed to be the preferred browser. since then i have had no issues. i just don't let it update. i use firefox for normal web stuff and only use IE7 when working with COLA's or Formulas......


      Yes it's stupid, but it seems to have fixed all those issues..
