Title: What's happened to Imgur?
Post by: Mr_Orange on 25 October 2025, 19:14

I've just noticed my signature image isn't showing, looked into it and seems Imgur has been cut off in the UK.

Without looking specifically I guess this will spoil any build progress or image sharing I've done on this and car forums?

Anyone else noticed this or understand what's going on, first photobucket messed things up, now these guys?

They were in breach of GDPR (nothing to do with the unbelievably idiotic Online Safety Act for once) and were fined by ofcom as a result, which led to them pulling out of the UK market. You can access the posts using a VPN based in another country. Don’t use a free one with the exception of Proton VPN, it’s the only free one I’d trust. Otherwise Mullvad is also good, but they don’t have a free tier.
