Well, no, I don't get confirmation of successful submission at all. If I re-RPB immediately, I only get the "the system asks you to wait 30 seconds blah blah blah" canned warning. That doesn't tell me if it went through. It just simply confirms I did hit the "submit" button seconds ago. I have no way of knowing what goes through or what not.

And for the sake of clarity, if my RBPs did get through, why the h*ll am I getting the database error warning at all?

Just like if I make a phone call and the call does get through, I am not supposed to hear the disconnection beep tone. If I successfully make the call and finish the intended conversation, the system shouldn't announce, "your call did not go through, please try again later", by the end of my call, should it? Am I really that technically challenged by FT?

It has been happening quite often in the last couple of months, especially when I am sending RBPs. To say the least, I am not a happy camper, amongst all the tech stunts IB has made FT performs on us.
