I t is a strange bug, Your posts don't show up in my approval notifications, and don't need moderator approval, yet you see the warning banner. Weird. I'll have a look at your profile.

As you can see, no restrictions are being applied.

See the announcement in the gray box attached to the "post new reply" box below vvvvvvvv -

For one day (3/3/2019) Andreas is temporaily barring the display of pictures here, to demonstrate how a proposed EU regulation to protect copyright would make it, practically speaking, impossible for the site to allow pictures in the future (too much working affirmatively guaranteeing every image has been placed here by the copyright owners, meaning us). Pretty much killing this forum forever.

Those of us not in the EU can offer moral support, but not practical support, since it is an EU political problem.

Note that it also affects emoticon images ("smiley faces" etc.) =8^o

Heute ist Uploadfreier Sonntag! / Today is Upload-free Sunday! Schreibt euren Abgeordneten / Contact your MEP

Do you have an MEP in Minnesota, Pico? Your local Senator or Congressman might be interested as the 'rest of the world' seems to have adopted the GDPR and may follow suit on copyright.

For the record the above is misattributed to me. It is not the first that this has happened. No problem. Stuff happens.
