    In case anyone doesn't know, recent law changes in the UK mean that Imgur is now blocked, and everything redirects to the same message. This means that even the banner on the main Sharemania page is blocked. Is it possible for the site to bring in a ban on Imgur, or at least discourage people from using it for previews? The board is now littered with blocked images for people in the UK. Even the How to create a Post (Tutorial) page is meaningless, since none of the tutorial images work.

    Dunno if it helps, but I use imagekit.io as an image host for some time now.

    Imgur is the most trustworthy image host, idk wth has been happening in UK with all their censorship and pointless new policies not only this block but many others, just use a VPN for Sharemania
