Apologies for the totally random question but has anyone ever had difficulties accessing the forum while traveling? I'm down at a hotel in Mexico and keep getting a Forbidden error every time I try to access the forum via the hotel wifi however if I access the forum via the mobile network, it loads no problem. Just curious if it's a weird quirk of the network of the hotel I'm staying at or something related to international access to the forum that others have come across before?

Not recently, but I've had that error before, and had to clear the history, only the previous hour of hour, and it seemed to fix it. Not sure what causes it.

I'm currently in Denmark and having no issues on data or wifi

When it's happened to me, it's always been when I travelling. I wonder if it's a case of the IP address switching back and forth from wifi to mobile a certain amount of times and then it gets flagged?

The firewalls in some public wifi detect certain sites as security threats and block access

And hotels are famous for having IP address reported for abuse.
