Did anyone else experience a wee glitch in connecting to the Forum today. I tried several times this afternoon and received an error message saying I was not authorised to connect with this server. I obviously, am able to access the forum now.

No problems on this side of town, it might have been the crows on your roof refusing to connect you, or perhaps you had not been putting in enough seat time to get connected, but I’m glad to see that extra shilling in the meter has solved the problem and brought you back into the fold again!

No problems that I know of at the server end. Forum traffic is routed through Cloudflare, which does several checks before allowing access (your browser, IP address, the requested URL etc.) and may block suspicious activity. This would be a flag that your device may be compromised with a virus / malware, or that you're connected from a known bad network. Obviously you're OK now, so probably just a temporary glitch...
