Imgur and UK users

[huub vink]

Today I saw the news that access to Imgur has been blocked for UK users.

UK users trying to access Imgur on Tuesday were met with an error message saying "content not available in your region" - with Imgur content shared on other websites also no longer showing.

Imgur blocked UK users after an inquiry was announced by UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Personally I liked Imgur as it worked quite smooth, without annoying advertising, but I will host my future images at the media library here at the Outhouse.

Cheers,
Huub

Huub,
thank you for making this change to your working practices - it means a lot to this UK user,

Thanks Huub, appreciate that. I know it loads up the SOH server done that way, but can be deleted later, and no doubt they'll sort out their issues (fingers crossed!).

Cheers
