I'm seeing some big purple rectangles with 'Content not viewable in your region' in the middle and the imgur logo at the bottom, instead of the photos.

I'm in the UK

From a bit of googling appears that Imgur have geo-blocked the UK - likely in a way of avoiding the need for age checks as part of the UK Online Safety Act.

VPN sales are going to keep going up

That seems to have happened today. Bollocks! Yesterday the photos were viewable. I'll try putting the photos into my LAF gallery tomorrow.

Just testing out 'postimage'.

*edit: seems to work, so I'll try reposting the originals

Good research - feels a bit of an over-reaction by Imgur, but given the recent polarisation of international views not too surprising.

Good work on finding a new solution, I need to do something similar.

Like the latest photo too!

Glad to see you’ve got an alternative for posting photos because they deserve to be shared - it all looks so scrumptious. Lovely work.

Photos coming through fine in USA for me.

Not really a fan of the period but pretty much anything from the Gentlemen of Much Piddling is fun to follow. 

Lovely work on the miniatures. 

Wish more sculptors would make more of the less svelte figures, fat men and women, etc.  And extra skinny, shorter and taller, etc.  Perhaps all part of the hazards of sculptors depending on 'dollies' for faster production. Hmm, maybe someone has an opportunity here - produce those varied height and weight dollies!   :o
