Sadly, any post using imgur images to convey information is lost to me.  This is a consequence of UK law.

In 2023, the UK introduced an online safety act which required a range of age verification measures. imgur did not introduce any measures and when pressed to comply or face sanction,  they began geo-blocking UK addresses in late 2025.

Since then, anyone using a UK address just sees a stock image saying 'content not viewable in your region'.  It is likely other sites operating similar hosting services will need to do something along these lines in due course.

Alternative please?

Do a hard refresh, I've uploaded to another service.

Some which currently work.  No idea how to investigate their stability or repute.

https://postimages.org/

I guess imgur was a test case in enforcing the UK legislation. There's the risk that these may go the same way at some point.  As other territories enforce online safety regulation the picture will become more fractured. It is impractical to cater for individual regions in a changing environment.

Cross posting going on.
imgchest is working for me.
I'll have a look at the revised application.
Thank you.

[valtam]

How about now?

[stevef]

The postimages.org links in #56 and the earlier imgchest versions in post #51 are working for me. Thank you.

You said this will be in the full release, but can the new update tray application be installed and tried on the RC2 test machine ?

[valtam]

Yes, I just pushed the new update, and welcome your feedback. Thank you.
I'll update the Posting Guidelines to use https://postimages.org/ as our Default.

[valtam]

@stevef would you mind doing a complete overhaul of the Posting Guidelines thread? There's no hurry. Thank you.

24 hours on, my test system has not found any new updates.
It continues to report lite-software is upgradable to 8.0-0080 but it won't upgrade.
Do I need to do anything to get the patch ?
