Can't view images from Imgur on Firefox4, IE9 or Chrome?

Hi all, I noticed this on the Random Pic thread but regardless of the software (I've used Firefox4, IE9 and Chrome) over the past few days I can't see any images from Imgur.com. I can view their website and see the thumbnails but when clicked there's no pics just the Red Cross Box.

People keep posting from Imgur in the Random Pics thread so they must be OK, any ideas?

(I didn't put this in software as it doesn't work in several programs, so more web related I thought)

Update - Still not working but traced it, none of my browsers can see the i.imgur.com server so I tried a DNS flush and still the same?

Misread thread, seems weird.

Check your hosts files, not sure if the website uses the same ip as the pictures.

Try a different DNS server entirely.

Google DNS

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

Or there's openDNS aswell

Sadly I'm on a BT Homehub which is DNS locked

I can Ping www. but not i. - I'm guessing BT are having a wibble!

All sorted, BT's DNS server must have got a reboot (or a kick in the knackers) last night I'd guess, everything works now.
