Imgur in UK (or maybe just on my ISP)

If it's not ZDoom, it goes here.

Imgur in UK (or maybe just on my ISP)

Post by Enjay »

Has anyone (especially someone from the UK) been finding imgur particularly slow over the last week or so?

Right now, I can't even load the site and none of the linked images on this site (and others) are working for me. https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ says it's just me.

It was working about 15 minutes ago. It's been off and on like this for days.

I've tried in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. Nothing. So it's not browser specific. I also tried on another computer. Still not working.

However, if I switch on the VPN in Opera, imgur loads up nice and fast and all the linked images show.

Works normally for me, and if it works normally for you with a VPN then yeah it's a problem with your ISP.

Thanks, at least that helps me narrow it down. Nothing else that I have visited has been affected. I guess that I could raise it with my ISP. They are a fairly small operation and I can just call to get hold of someone who I have actually met.

imgur is back for me at the moment, but that's how it's been over the last little while.

Sometimes the "zoinks! you've taken a wrong turn the image doesn't exist" or "imgur is over capacity!!!!!!!!!!" is a stealth 403.
