This isn't exactly a flash solution, but I just discovered that archive.ph can be used to retrieve Imgur content, provided one has the page link. The caveat is that you'll need to paste it in manually and wait (the page above took about a minute+ to archive). Then it will show you the page, like this: https://archive.ph/nv07a
From now on, I'll try to include the Imgur page links in my posts so that at least folks in the UK can find a way to see the post content, if they choose to. Not perfect, but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, hey?
Now, what I should probably do is start testing PixelFed as an alternate image host. Last time I heard they're reliable, and going strong. One other famous problem with Imgur is that it will drop hosted content, seemingly randomly. I have stuff I've uploaded there over 10yrs ago that's still there, and other stuff that's been deleted after like 4mos. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with NSFW or popular / less popular content, so I've really no clue...
