Re: Atari-forum access issues. Is anybody else affected?
I'm not able to access atari-forum.com at the moment (using Safari 18.6 on macOS 13.7.8), always get the following error message:
Yesterday it was working for a short period of time btw.

I also get the same in Safari, not logged on there for about a month.

The maintenance on Atari-Forum last night was security related, the admin responsible for the firewall has not yet been able to carry out any substantial changes (due to personal circumstances).
If you are having problems, it helps if you can provide your browser user agent information and IP4 and IP6 addresses. You can send this by PM to me if you wish. I will then pass the information on to the admin.
Sorry for the problems that people are having.

If you don't know your browser user agent, you can ask Google "how to find browser user agent" and it should tell you. I daresay that other search engines will either be able to tell you or provide a link to a web site that can.

@1024MAK
My mobiles been blocked for weeks, the user agent is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Android 14; Mobile; rv:152.0) Gecko/152.0 Firefox/152.0
Also on my desktop, it can connect a few times, but after (on average) 5 page changes (ie; going into different forums or checking messages) I simply get 'unable to connect' and then I have to wait around 24 hours for it to work again.

These links were what I used to get my user agent and IP info:
https://www.whatismyuseragent.com/
https://www.whatismyip.com/
Since providing these I've mostly been fine apart from the maintenance that was mentioned.
You need to provide the user agent info for all the browsers you use.
