When I clicked on the description I was directed to the lot where it stated "No Image Available".
However when I clicked on Larger Image "Hey Presto" up came the image.
Sellers spend a great deal of time and effort listing their lots so the image should be seen in the "Lists".

Ian,
Is this a one off or does this happen all the time.
Are you connected on a slow or dial up connection?
Regards ... Tim.

I've noticed this lately too, Tim. I'm on a high-speed connection.

Hi Tim,
I have only noticed this over the last couple of days, Mainly with lots from "Soundcrest".
I also am on a Highspeed Connection.

Hi Tim - yes I see that as well. No images. In fact its on every auction that I uploaded the image via bulk image uploader and then copied the link into the listing before uploading it. When I go now to edit the listing the image is there within the listing but it does not display on the auction page when you search for auctions by seller.

It looks like every image I uploaded via the bulk uploader doesn't appear but if I now go back and edit the listing it does. This says to me that the list auction screen field where you enter the image url is not working properly, and that you have to upload the auction with no images and edit it once it is running.
It's even stranger than that. I was fixing them by just copying the url over the existing one and saving it and it was working. Then I tried just opening the listing to edit, doing nothing, and saving it and the image appeared. I will do the rest this way

Hi Greg,
"This says to me that the list auction screen field where you enter the image url is not working properly"
Early days I had a similar problem when I copy / Pasted the image link as: /upload/2000938255.jpg
Fixed it by adding: https://stamporama.com (in front.)
So the link to the image becomes: https://stamporama.com/upload/2000938255.jpg
Just a thought... Hope it helps.
Regards
Steve.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the info. Probably still faster to simply just go into each listing and open and close it once it is live. Interesting though that that would make a difference. When you change an image in a listing you don't need to do that

For the past two weeks I have been doing things the "old" way and adding an image to each listing as it is created. It is not always instantly uploaded, but I suspect that is more my ISP than the site. I have recently upgraded to Opera 36 (last XP release) which I will be trying this week. It would seem that the 3-5 minute uploads are a thing of the past. I will also say the site overall is faster, but that surely could be an Opera vs Chrome thing. Only thing I am using Chrome for at this point is anything that I cannot use Opera for (video due to Flash, and Amazon postage printing)

I just realized I answered a question you didn't ask. I have not checked to see if I have to edit every listing if I do not include an image originally. If I remember I will try that out on Monday night and let you know

Tim, I just tried it. Uploading the image in the members upload screen, and then cutting and pasting the file in the auction listing, still results in no image appearing on the list of auction lots. I had to go in and edit the listing just by hitting submit and changing nothing, same as before

On the plus side Opera was lightning fast, even with version 36. Don't know if it was the browser or maybe the internet connection was decent. Time will tell

While scrolling through "All New Items" yesterday and today, several lots had no images.
When I clicked on the description I was directed to the lot where it stated "No Image Available".
However when I clicked on Larger Image "Hey Presto" up came the image.
Sellers spend a great deal of time and effort listing their lots so the image should be seen in the "Lists".
