Imgur blocks UK users.

Just thought I'd mention the above....Imgur [photo hosting, amongst other things, apparently]...has blocked UK access to any photos stored on Imgur. Access as normal for those living outside the UK. I don't know if it will affect this forum or not? [Not sure how photos are posted on here anyway].. Thought I'd mention it...as on the NGRM forum, many photos posted, have disappeared..

Fingers crossed it shouldn't be a problem. Having had our fingers burnt before with lost images completely ruining threads I set up a system to cache the hot linked images locally, with an option for users to opt out if they choose. Hot linking with a side order of copyright clarification
