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

Re: Atari-forum access issues. Is anybody else affected?
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.chronicthehedgehog wrote: 09 Jun 2026 13:22 I couldn't connect for most of last week but all seems fine now, using Chrome on Windows :oops:
I get my t'internet from Virgin fwiw

Re: Atari-forum access issues. Is anybody else affected?
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.

Re: Atari-forum access issues. Is anybody else affected?
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.

Re: Atari-forum access issues. Is anybody else affected?
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.
