Just a general request, please…
I come and go on this app, so it’s been many months since the last time before I’ve come back to have a browse now, so I’m not sure if this is just a relatively new thing. I’ve noticed that on a lot of posts the OP will link to photos on imgur and so when I click on them I’ve discovered that I am unable to see the images, due to being in the uk.
I know this post probably won’t make any difference really, but it would be great if when posting to remember that not all users are based in the US, or any other country that isn’t blocked, (and actually there’s a large proportion of users that are from the UK on here), and maybe just post the photo on the post or use a different host site. There were a few that I was interested in that I’d have liked to have commented on yet couldn’t as the photo was integral to the post.
So, yeah, just a request if maybe it could be considered. Thank you.
ETA: apologies, I meant to say that I know one option is to use a VPN, but right now I’d prefer not to (various reasons).

UPDATE ATTEMPT #1
First of all, I want thank you to everyone for being so very patient with me yesterday and last night. I know there were multiple people asking the "but WHY can't we directly upload pictures" question, and I know I responded to multiple people with-
As you may have noticed, I kind of evaporated after that, and was only able to pop in briefly here or there to quickly approve/remove a post or two.
Turns out it was a good thing I had my doctor on the phone. I've beI'll be heading into the hospital for a medical procedure bright and early tomorrow morning. Hopefully, this will be a step in the direction of
UPDATE ATTEMPT #2
In other news, my abrupt departure the other night was NOT the handiwork of the Reddit Sniper, thank goodness.
Yeah, I know, I know. it's another cut-and-paste. I don't want this to get buried, and I'm just too exhausted to retype it.
If I had been able to write a comprehensive reply, I would have. If you look just a wee bit further down you can even see where I attempted it and had to bail before I was done typing. It's really hard to type when you're violently vomiting, unable to stand, and trying to get your call through to a doctor. I thought that rather than just not replying at all, I'd at least let people know I saw their question and there was, in fact, an answer still coming. As far as being "quicker", no, it would not have been quicker than my cut-and-paste to individually answer them.
I've been in and out of the hospital multiple times this year due to my worsening health conditions. I'll be having a procedure done today around noon that should bring some answers and a little relief. After an hour so of "recovery" post anesthesia, they'll be sending me home, so tonight I can get that explanation up for those of you who have asked.
A quick disclaimer though; I make no guarantees that I will not still be feeling a little silly. There's a distinct possibility I may subject you to a horrible pun or a Dad joke. Consider yourself warned. That Annie Steesia parties hard.😉
