switching to default is a work around for now
Cheers @Hurray Banana thought it was just me.
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 ...
Should endup looking like this:

... but if you're in FF you can just paste the following into your UserContent.css file.
uKvAc - Imgur Fixur (Transparent Background)
Removes the error, replacing with nothing and making the background colour transparent.
greasyfork.org
CSS:
@-moz-document domain(ukvac.com) {
.nodeImgPreview {
background-color: transparent !important;
background-image: none !important;
}
}Should endup looking like this:
You can also use my 'transparent avatar' thing to ensure that your transparent avatar works (at least for you), too ...
greasyfork.org
uKvAc - Avatar - Transparent Background
This removes the xenforo php enacted style which colours the background of the avatar image to the same as the block-container class for a given theme

i think its due to some of the content it hosts and legalities surrounding adult content in this country
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?

Well as per my unintentially cheeky post in site announcements 'me too'. UK blocks itself in a flawed and stupid manner from the rest of the English speaking world (and more) shocker. The so called internet should really be rebranded nimbynet: Tim Berners-Lee saw this shambolic mess coming some years back!
Happens on default skin, too.
Reminder to others that you can install Violent Monkey (links to browser app stores are here) and add the script.
Or via to your Firefox userContent.css (either directly, or via a CSS 'import' function), or the Stylish extension on any browser, add the style (it might not be a script, but if not, I'll amend that, just let me know) that I linked, above.
( sorry to admins that we're bringing this up ... )
