I understand the issue but imgur is still one of the absolute best image hosting sites out there and their service works well for D2JSPs auto upload feature due to their API support, it would likely add an additional cost to D2JSP to swap providers.

Why don't you make a list of specific alternatives and add it to your topic so we can see them, I feel this would add clarity to your request.

I have to assume you are not having this issue yourself as your signature and avatar are hosted by Imgur.

Curious to know D2JSP's position on this.

While I understand switching providers may come with an associated cost, so too does neglecting concerns expressed by an entire region of your community. Assuming the OP's issue is factual of course and not just user end. That being said, I believe it is worth looking at and considering possible resolutions.
As for alternatives, I wonder what would be needed on D2JSP's end in order to entertain switching providers.

Personally, I use Postimages. Mostly because uploads don't get compressed automatically like they do through Imgur. Which matters to me because I upload GFX work.
They also offer a website plugin feature. Wonder if that could work here on JSP?

Maybe trying to implement one or two more options could help people that have this problem ?

I am actually unsure why my sig and avatar display correctly for me, as you are right they are imgur, like 50% of peoples profiles and avatars are just an img icon for me, and when i try to copy the image address of my sig or avatar im unable to open it in a new page, and if i attempt to upload to imgur i cant, view the site, i cant.
The only thing that i can think is that it was uploaded before the restrictions came in to play and therefore not subject to the latest OSA regulations? but then i can't see a lot of sigs and avatars of users that likely predate these regulations too, so i have no idea.



I believe that website does work for me also and i have had to use it in threads myself since the imgur problem.. I wonder if there is a way to implement postimages instead if they offer a plugin, as far as i am aware that shouldn't affect any other countries but would solve the issue for UK users.

I agree with WoE and I'm interested in what are the arguments of the the people who voted no.

As for alternatives, tumblr also has an API and I would love to see that implemented. Looking at the list of banned countries for tumblr I see China. However, CN users have their own D2R servers and we don't expect them to be on jsp if I'm correct since there's no CN trading forum.

Yea this sucks can't see alot of images anymore not even my own sig/ava

Just to update on this, my avatar and signature are now no longer visible to me. Perhaps older uploaded images weren't hit initially or it took a while for them to get to older uploads? Anyway every IMGUR link is dead for me now and i have had to upload them to postimages instead to fix them

D2jsp is borderline unusable for UK traders and we need a solution

It was likely just showing up due to browser caching.

I also learned in this thread that there is an auto-upload feature... I was always pasting in the imgur link manually.

Hope a solution comes, but sadly I wouldn't hold your breath.

That's a good point, hadn't thought of that.

Yeah many people do manually upload images also which would still be an issue even if the auto upload host was changed. The only solution that i have found so far that will allow me to see images is opening a private window with TOR on web browser, right clicking the img icon of the img and copy pasting the image address into the address bar to bypass the blanket UK IP ban.

It's a work around at least for now.. hopefully there is a better one.

Provide a list of alternatives and we can look into it.
