I wish i could do something Dew - lots of hugs and love

Echoing Ana, if there were some way I could help I definitely would. I can only hope that doesn't come true.

Just being able to have a safe place to vent means a lot. I have a job, for which I am thankful. I need a place to go if I want to keep it though. I rely on co-workers for rides to work since my car died a while ago. Things have been bad a while, but it's come to a head now.

hope you are doing ok Dewclaw. Really thinking about you

I'm still kicking, but I don't know what's going to happen. Thank you for being here. <3

Great, images hosted on Imgur have now been prevented from displaying in the UK, so now every Imgur image anyone posts just comes up like this:



This is absolute BS. And pretty frustrating when many users here have their signature pics hosted there. Scrolling through pages with massive purple boxes is not fun. Thanks, UK government.

The image shows up normal for non UK ppl. But I know it's a big purple box..which suuuxs.

Is there any other easy free don't need to log in, don't delete site avalible

Well now I feel stupid. I recently got a VPN to get around the UK law annoyances and now see that the image I posted actually displays the linked image and not the obnoxious purple box. You lot outside the UK probably had no idea what I was on about. *repeated head-desks*

This is what it looks like, complete with zero resizing regardless of the size of the original image:

I saw a couple of suggestions on Flight Rising for people looking to move their images. These are the recommended ones that don't need an account:

ImgBB - has an auto-delete option that can be turned on or off, so care is advised.
ImgBox - default upload options creates a new gallery and allows for commenting, so could be annoying when uploading multiple images.
PostImg - large free uploads (1280px+) are downscaled.

I knew what you meant because i saw ppl posting on FR..
Sadly Imgur is easy to find out.. i might go research the others at a later point
