There is a work-around... If the images are placed in the body of one post, then next time I rum the scripts, they will be picked up and they will then work in the signature.

Noticed my name come up. The signature pics show fine on my end, so I assume the fix worked (thanks!)

That will be because you're in a country unaffected by Imgur's decision. It's all because of the UK's online safety act and Imgur deciding it was easier to deny UK users access than to comply with UK legislation.

Oh. This is about that, huh. Damn, very unfortunate for you lot. I guess I'm going to start a mass mailing list to send you BX pictures from now on.

I can see the pics when I connect via a VPN server in France which is what I would expect.
It is not clear (to me) if it is just signature pics that are blocked or is it those in the text too, because I am sure I remember seeing posts with several blocked image placeholders.
The Joy of BX with just one Citroën BX to my name now. Will I sing Bye Bye to my GTI or will it be Till death us do part.

Any imagur image links posted after today will not work until I do another manual image backup run (which maybe once a month, or may be a lot less frequent).


Note that image links in signatures are not currently handled by my scripts.
It's still just the signatures and if any others are missing then the monthly back ups should bring them back thanks to Mike.
