Content not viewable in your region
« on: October 04, 2025, 03:31:09 pm »
Images in quite a number of threads are displayed as: "Content not viewable in your region."

I am in the UK.

What's going on please

Imgur have blocked the UK because of the Online Safety Act 2023
You can use a VPN or a web proxy outside the UK (Google open web proxy ) to bypass the georestriction.  E.g. Dave (EEVblog) has used Imgur in reply #12 of https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/how-to-place-a-photo-in-a-post/
Paste that URL into a free web proxy e.g  https://proxypal.net/ and you will see the page as viewed from outside the UK by a guest user (i.e. not logged in).  I would *NOT* recommend logging in through a web proxy!

Unless I knew in advance that the image would be very interesting to me, I wouldn't bother.

There was another image hosting service that chose to play silly buggers with people when they decided to try to monetise it. I believe people just gave them the finger.

Yet another example of why people should put the picture on this web server, and not on some random here-today-gone-tomorrow server.
There are lies, damned lies, statistics - and ADC/DAC specs.
