This includes the ability to see images embedded into other sites.

This has in turn broken a large number of character profile templates, as well as character profiles relying on images for decoration.

This is mostly a heads-up for anyone affected by this. But also something to consider in general for those wanting to keep their character profiles as globally accessible as possible.

A VPN can bypass this issue of course, but the issue with that is that profiles will still appear broken to anyone from the UK not using one.

Whether this is some stopgap whilst imgur implements some changes (doubtful, given how much that website's been gutted by MediaLabs over the past couple of years) or something that will be the case indefinitely whilst the Online Safety Act continues to be applied under its current rules, remains to be seen.
I've had problems seeing images from Imgur for years.
