Problem loging into ConsumerReports.org

Will Apple provide a solution so that Safari can once again work with ConsumerReports.org?

Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library./Caches/com.apple.Safari/Caches.db and move it to the trash.


Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions and turn all extensions off. Test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.

No problem accessing ConsumerReports.org here on Safari 8.0.8.


Make sure your OS X software is up to date.


Open the App Store then select Updates from the menu top of the App Store window.



If your software is already up to date, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Remove All Website Data then quit then relaunch Safari and try that website again.

I did the first step and it works. However, i did one other thing. I had Consumer Reports bookmarked in Safari and that was how I was going to the website. This time, I reentered the address and it took me to a different login screen so I don't know if that was my original problem. I deleted the old bookmark and saved the new one and all seems to be okay now.

Thanks
