Anyone else getting "Content Not Viewable In Your Region" from imgur.com?

Nothing against Darren_Garrison yet his post here

shows a big box with “Content not viewable in your region.”

My “region” is the UK: England. Is it just KCIII that has banned imgur content? Or has imgur banned KCIII?

It’s quite common that I see this div, and often I circumvent it.

I’m unsure of the rule boundaries of the SD - based in the USA. I have certain software that would easily allow me into any country (except Russia and China). There’s usually no good reason for it - it’s just like imgur said “only USA”.

In retaliation, I will not be showing any of you the wonderful windmills in Scotland, right near Trump’s cruddy golf courses!

Imgur is indeed inaccessible from the UK.

There was previously some brief discussion in a thread about image hosting. Starting here:

I guess you missed the sticky at the top of this forum.

Just an FYI, I can’t get ImgBB to work. When I try to upload an image it hangs. So I apologize to my UK friends but I’m not going to use it.

Yes, I missed the sticky as I didn’t think it was “sticky worthy”. That would be like all trump and hegseth “content” was unavailable. We’re almost there.

And the latest news is my Mom’s house is going to closing and somehow I don’t need to travel to the USA. Not unhappy.

I’ve been seeing that recently from here in the UK myself.

So far I haven’t worried about it too much.
I’m actually more annoyed by people who post paywalled links

But this is only a discussion board after all, I don’t think we’re going to miss anything really important…

Following advice from one of the aforementioned threads, I installed
the free version of Proton VPN. This allows me to appear to be located
in another country and thereby view the images from imgur. It’s easy to
switch on and off if it affects anything else.

That you can use Proton (I think Opera or other browsers have some kind of VPN) makes no sense. It’s not like people are posting Xi as “winnie the pooh” or Kristi Noem shooting dogs.

I use Nord as it allows me to “sail the high seas” yet not from every computer (though I could) and it’s just a trivial annoyance.
