43. To all those only seeing blue boxes rather than images: welcome to DU life for UK DUers!

Thu Jun 18, 2026, 05:42 PM

Please don't recommend IMGUR. That host blocks users in the UK from seeing anything other than a blue box.

I've no idea why the other links in this OP and under it are showing up as blue boxes for US-based DUers, but please bear in mind your frustration the next time you post an OP that's just an IMGUR link.

Those in the UK will only see a blue box. Even a little explanation of what we're supposed to be seeing/are missing out on seeing would be better than nothing.
