Cheers It's probably imagur, which the UK government have banned, you'll need to use a VPN set up for a different country. I can access a VPN using Kaspersky, it's under privacy, might be the same with similar products? Martinnfb 1

Welcome to LSP 🙂 There are several free and reliable image hosting sites on the internet. You don’t need to transgress the laws of the country in which you live by using a vpn. Christa 1

quang Posted July 4 Posted July 4 I didn’t say it was illegal to use a VPN. I said ‘transgress the laws’ (bypassing the rule) by using a VPN. Now back to the SF 🙂 Christa 1
Out2gtcha Posted July 4 Posted July 4 VPNs work exceptionally well here in the states, for a lot of different things.

Imgur decided to not allow images posted on their site to be shown in the UK. Their decision. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo Edited July 5 by MikeC KiwiZac 1
Merlin1000 Posted July 5 Author Posted July 5 Firstly thank you for the great welcome, secondly, the response to my problem, you all explained the issue so very eloquently, in essence I refuse to pay for the use of a VPN, however I will check out the free sites for hosting images of my model as I progress with it. Cheers everyone. LSP_K2, geedubelyer and Rick Griewski 3
