Anyone else on here use IMGUR for their photo hosting site? Apparently it’s been blocked in the UK since yesterday, but some are saying it’s accessible by a VPN. I’ve got over 3000 photos on there. 
I thought they’d blocked me, as I’m on my last warning for sticking it to MAGA
but it’s all of the UK, I wonder if it’s got owt to do with that online safety bill?

I have an Imgur account though I don’t use it often and have nothing on there that I really care about, just a few smileys and avatars and the like.
Anyway after reading your post I tried to access my Imgur account and couldn’t so I changed my VPN to a USA server and was able to get in with no trouble 
It seems to work for the USA France Ireland and the Isle of Man but not us 
edit: Just to add that when trying to access Imgur through a UK server I get the message that it’s not available for this region

It looks like I’ll have to get a VPN to access all my photos. I looked on other forums that I’ve uploaded my pics on & some are still there but others I got the message ‘not viewable in your region’ 
The general consensus of opinion on the www seems to be that Imgur don’t want to be bothered by the UKs online safety act so have simply withdrawn the service for the UK

I’ve just been doing some more reading & the imgur community has been in revolt since it was taken over earlier this year by MediaLab/MegaBits. Another bunch of corporate ■■■■■■■■■■. It’ll go the same way as Photobucket.
I’d forgotten I had an old PostImage account for uploading photos, I haven’t used it in years so had to get a new password & just tried it out. It’s slow & basic, but it’ll do for the time being until I decide whether VPN or a paid photo hosting site.
I grew two slips (side shoots) from a shop bought sweet potato at the beginning of the year & planted them up in a 30ltr bucket, Just harvested them & took a pic to try this site. Not bad for a first attempt at growing them, we love them here.
Now I know that growing slips are viable from shop bought ones I’ll grow them in earnest next season.
