Title: Solved the no pictures situation
Post by: spitfire58 on August 10, 2018, 08:47:32 AM
Finally got a solution to the no pictures problem. We changed broadband provider to Vodafone a few months ago which incidentally was the absolute worst ever !! Didn`t think that would be the issue as I had checked router settings/restrictions etc & all looked ok. Anyway, changed yesterday to Virgin Media & hey presto pictures are back !!! Happy Days 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Sounds like I was probably right then Spitfire, it was probably the Vodafone provided DNS server that was not serving imgur correctly. Anyone with a similar problem should try manually setting there DNS server to the google public DNS 8.8.8.8

Google 8.8.8.8 is good but I find Cloudflares 1.1.1.1 is faster for me.
