should be merged/tested again after openclimatefix/quartz-api#365

Thanks for this. A few questions from me

• What link does the "subscribe to get more" go to?
• Are these changes just done in the UI, because API users might then still have access - I guess that could be a different PR in the quartz-api
• What happens if people press the right arrow key? does that go along? (that might be sorted if we do something in the API)

Thanks @peterdudfield for the questions,

1. It will open the mail to support@quartz.solar
2. The API level is also blocked. There’s a PR for that here: feat: add trial check and don't allow forecast access quartz-api#365
3. It will only go up to the current point in time (NOW). Anything after that isn’t a real forecast, it’s just mock data, so the right arrow won’t take users beyond NOW.
