It *ONLY* just started happening to me today ... which tells me that my smart DNS has been doing its very best up until this point. 🤔

I've whipped up the following User Style for those in non-FF browsers ...
uKvAc - Imgur Fixur (Transparent Background)
... but if you're in FF you can just paste the following into your UserContent.css file. :)
CSS:
@-moz-document domain(ukvac.com) {
  .nodeImgPreview {
    background-color: transparent !important;
    background-image: none !important;
  }
}

Should endup looking like this:
imgur2.png

You can also use my 'transparent avatar' thing to ensure that your transparent avatar works (at least for you), too ...

Imgur blocking access from the UK is down to the new Age Verification rules, easier for them to block access than setup age verification just for a single country.

The issue with the missing background pic is surely something the site admins should be fixing by hosting the image elsewhere?

I've had this for some time. i wondered what it was. Got to love the UK gov and their dumb ideas.

I just live with it as im very much a "dark mode" kinda guy especially when it comes to text.
