I had issues last week but everything is ok now. They said it was down to their QoS software.

That seems to suggest that maybe perhaps it isn't a user agent issue since you can use Chrome OK. It does seem at the very least to be a block on certain IP ranges.

I can't connect from Firefox on android over my home WiFi or mobile data but I can connect from my work pc also using Firefox.

Could my isp be being blocked ?

I've provided some info over to the Atari-Forum mods around user agents on Mac, hopefully that will help as there seems to be a misunderstanding on how they work.

I'm currently still unable to access the site though.

Happy to report this morning that on my mobile at least I was able to access the site again over WiFi.

Can't check my laptop until this evening though as on my way into work right now now.

The admin on Atari-Forum has made some changes today. Although not all problems have been sorted, there should be less problems with connecting.

If you didn’t know, Atari-Forum has been fighting the bots, you may want to read my earlier post here.

Please continue to post here or on Atari-Forum (if you can) if you are having problems.

Personnally, I cannot access from my mobile phone."forbidden"

If I remember well, I can from my computers.
