Problems with procedure to sign up new STers.

I just received a PM from someone who wishes to sign on as a StreamTeamer for Ohio (specifically, for O'Bannon Creek, but for good, bad, or indifferent, I am of the habit always of assigning full-state privilege).
(On IE6) I went into my StreamTeam 'Administator' page, clicked the "Assign to State StreamTeam" button, and the page popped up with the pull-down lists for "Contacts to Assign" and "State to Assign". However, as soon as I moved the mouse/pointer into the box, the "Contacts to Assign" pull-down list DISAPPEARED!
I went over to Firefox, and that part of things behaved ok, allowing me to assign him to the state. However, since I did not notice any 'confirmation' of the action, and wanting to verify before PMing him to 'have at it', I went to the ST list (for the state of Ohio) to verify that his ID showed up there. What I found was a new 'blank' record. However, it has a 'Details...' link following it, which (when pressed) shows the user's name.
So . . . I'm guessing that he IS now 'authorized', but there is some fluke with the listing. Much like the apparent fluke which seems presently to show some STers as "StreamTeam Member", others as "STREAMTEAM-MEMBER", and others with no entry under the 'Title' heading/column.
