According to the logs, it seems like a session cookie related issue, CSRF 
protection kicked in because the browser didn't pass in the CSRF token 
when doing the callsign search. Not sure if this is a broader issue - it 
seems to work alright for most users, but there's at least one vague 
report which could be similar. It might be a bug on aprs.fi, a javascript 
code error most likely.

Could you do a forced reload of the site (ctrl-reload, or option-reload on 
a mac), or do a logout/login?

There's a thread on this change on the aprs.fi discussion group, we can 
continue discussing this over there as well:
