Buyee auction pics

[victor]

Not sure if this belongs in this part of the forum, and not sure if this problem reflects a Buyee issue or a "Victor" issue:

In the last week a change has happened for how the auctions appear for me on Buyee for the Yahoo.jp auctions.

In the past I would click on the pictures for an item posted on Y!.jp and they would appear in a "carousel" where I would click on an arrow at "3'oclock" or "9 oclock" to click right or left through the pictures of the watch (or whatever) in the auction. This week, for the past few days, when I click on the image it opens the image as a single large picture.  And there are no 3 oclock or 9 oclock arrows to let me click to the next image.  I have to click the back-button on my browser to go back to the auction and then I can click on the next pic.  Rinse and repeat.

I have found this happening while using the browser on my phone.  It happens across multiple PCs.  It happens on the Safari browser and the Chrome browser.  I've looked for a setting in the the Buyee site, figuring I'd accidentally clicked some setting, but cannot find anything that would have caused the way auction images to appear to change.

So, is this happening to anyone else?  Or if I've somehow stupidly clicked a setting that changes how the pictures in the auctions appear, can anyone tell me how to reset things? Right now, it makes auctions really challenging to view.

Thanks for any advice and help.

Happening to me too, via the Buyee app. Honestly, their site is incredibly poorly built and I constantly had issues like this when I used it regularly. Weirdly enough, I used to have this exact issue occasionally but it would always resolve if I went back and tried the same thing again.

I make sure to hit the right arrow for the first image transition on my phone, then can click on any image and swipe to see them in a popup instead of a redirect.

Yes, this recent change is a real pain.

This no longer appears to work, at least in the app…

Same experience for me too. I thought I was going nuts, glad to see we're all crazy around here!

There was a change earlier this week where the images are not actually hosted by Buyee but rather referred to yahoo cdn.
PITA as one has to keep doing a lot back and forth between pages instead of album scrolling.

Thanks everyone.  I wondered if I'd clicked on a setting that changed things, though for the life of me I could not find one.

Yes, it's a real pain in the neck. It has resulted in me not viewing or bidding on as many auctions, so maybe a good thing.

Damn.  And here I was taking a break from Buyee.  My wallet doesn't thank you for this notification.

You're welcome. I'm sure there's a couple of SQ watches, dotted around Japan, wailing for your attention and eventual purchase
