Default Strange Ebay picture problem

I'm having a problem with images on Ebay, the advertising pics come up fine but the sellers pics dont.
The same when I go to a subject listing, The main pic's are at the top but details below the listing are not there!!

I'm using Opera but the same thing happens with Chrome, Firefox and IE.

And please if you 'quote' cut the images out

The front page. Advertising comes up fine but where it says 'From our sellers' no images.



And on the listings page, same thing!



The actual page (The Sellers pictures at the top of the page come out fine.) But when I scroll down, after waiting like 5years for it to load, again nothing, just "Opera could not connect".

I think there is an option for browsers that stop pictures from auto loading till you click them??? Same option is found on smartphones to reduce download bandwidth waste.

But the chances of that function being turned off across all browsers at the same time is pretty rare!

Computers are great, aren't they

Problem solved. Updated Flash Player to the latest version, all good now.

Although I always thought that Flash Player only related to moving pictures!

that is weird. No, flash can be a framework of a site, but just because it's outdated, it should still display everything fine.

Weird is my middle name Chris !

A friend came over and we logged onto his Smugmug photo site, which uses Flash to put up his slide show.

The same problem as my Ebay one, his pics came up but the slide show didn't work.
Also tried Ebay and his Smugmug site on another desktop PC here, again no pictures on either. But everything worked fine on his Samsung Galaxy which ruled out my WiFi modem thingie.

After updating Flash all worked fine !


As YF Jason said, Computers are great

Yep, just about the same problem as me, try downloading the latest Adobe Flash player, it worked for me.

Sometime just a restart of your browser or even the machine fixes the problem too.
