This isn't really a site problem but it is effecting functionality.

I speak of the Imgur image blocking. I saw this post on another thread and finally realised it's not just me.

<p>Did it get changed back to imgur?
I&;ve used postimages dot org to post images we now see.</p>
<p>Imgur/MediaLab refused to comply or pay fine for not complying with a Safety Act for kids age verification and how they used kids data.
The UK is not the only country affected.
Sadly it is used all over Subeta forums and profiles.

Might it be worth addressing in a news post to make people aware?

I&;ve heared ImgBB is a good alternative to ensure UK users can few their images.
I use them and haven't had any problems.

If anyone else knows of any other good places do say.

@ lull A news post or a banner would be really useful letting folk know it is not just them. Also letting other users know we can no longer see anything they post using Imgur.

Thanks - I had no idea. I use Imgur when posting pictures so I guess I need to figure something else out. .

Thanks, As this has not been picked up yet maybe more groups could be alerted.

This is an example of an Imgur Geoblocked profile. There is no way I could ToT, Flower, see wishlist etc or even message them from the profile.

Google to the rescue:

Yes, Imgur changed a policy that blocks images from being viewed in the United Kingdom, not the United States. The company blocked all access to UK users due to a potential fine from the UK&;s Information Commissioner&;s Office (ICO) concerning data protection, which has led Imgur to implement a commercial block on access in the UK as of September 30, 2025.
