Bugger! That's the site I use when I want to post an image here.
^ Me too. However I remembered I have an account on https://postimages.org/. I stopped using it for some reason, but all my old pics are still there. It'll be my chosen image hosting site for now.
Of course one could use imgur through a VPN, but I suspect anyone from the UK would not see that image when linked on a forum.
Just read a similar thread on another site, looks like a lot of people are affected. I use ImgBB myself, easy and free.
For my cycling posts I use my own web server, just so I can be sure they won't go offline one day. But I do use ImgBB for a lot of other stuff so I hope they don't get clobbered as well.

Didn't know Imgur, now I do, and it's not blocked for me. Not in the Uk of course.
