COAR works on my phone (don't use that much cause I have a very limited data plan). COAR works on my lady's computer (Windows). COAR even works on her account on my computer (Mac). COAR does NOT work on my main account on my computer, making it hard to do things like log on to COAR and stuff.
It's an older-ish MacBook, running what should be the latest version of Safari, and it worked just fine until the other day.
How does this happen, how do I fix it, and how do I avoid it happening again?

What isn't working? Does the page not resolve? Does it time out? Do you get a not found? You need to describe the actual problem in order to get some assistance.

IIRC it says something about the server not responding. I'll give it a shot in the morning and get a word-for-word for you. It's just a blank white page with the Safari logo in the center and some text.

Clublights is the only Apple fanboy allowed on this site.. He's been a fanboy since as long as I've known him.. the late 90s I think.. He liked them before they were trendy. Return you man card to the appropriate authorities

There was a new update to Java recently. Make sure you have your Mac updated -- I've seen sites with a great deal of Javascript flat-out fail with no explanation when I missed a particular Java security patch.

I had a PowerPC G3 in 1998. It was running OS 9.1. 266Mhz I think? Getting OSX was the best thing ever! lol

Fixed it, thanks guys. I hit "Remove All Website Data" in Safari's settings, and now it works.
