We are working on a fix for the UK viewers who have problems with Imgur images!

We have received comments and are aware that UK viewers are unable to see the small header images, such as the AO3 logo. These are currently hosted on Imgur and a new law in the UK is blocking all of those images. (Even if they are safe for work, which our logo images very much are.) So if you are seeing giant purple boxes with the words "content not viewable in your region" on them, the layout is probably terrible. This is a problem on Dreamwidth and LiveJournal, but not on our third site: Tumblr. But we know that will not work for everyone and we are working on a solution.

ETA: Update! Based on tests this week we have a solution. Starting Monday October 13th (or sooner) our Herald posts will have small header image/logos hosted on Squidge. This should fix the problem for UK viewers. Thank you for your patience.

GILES: Oh, there you are.
JENNY: There who is?
GILES: Our new friend Spike. He's known as 'William the Bloody'. Earned his nickname by torturing his victims with railroad spikes. Very pleasant. Well, here's some good news: he's barely two hundred. He's not even as old as Angel is. Oh.
XANDER: That's a bad look, right?
GILES: I think your suggestion of running away this Saturday might've been a good one. Spike has fought two Slayers in the last century, and... he's killed them both.

Buffy: The Watcher Council shrink is heavy into tests. He's got tests for everything. T.A.T.s, Rorschach, associative logic... He even has that test to see if you're crazy that asks if you ever hear voices or you ever wanted to be a florist.
Willow: Ooo, I used to want... (reconsiders) Wait. Florist means crazy, right? I never wanted to do that.
