Default Kijiji picture problems??

Is anyone else having problems with Kijiji in as much as you can't access an ad's pictures?

In the box where you would normally see a picture of the item being sold is the text of the item only, no picture.

I sent Kijiji an email a few days back and no response, I am wonder if it is my computer?

This happens whether I log in or not.

Thanks,

I think it is your computer.
I have two Macs - one with a new operating system and a much older machine that will no longer support the newer OS.
That older machine will not display pics off any Kijiji ads but the newer one will.....

I just tried Firefox and no pictures on Kijiji. It did work some weeks ago. No pictures with Internet Explorer. Pictures with Chrome.

I turned off "Enhanced Tracking Protection" in Firefox and Kijiji pictures show up now. I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but I like to see the photos.

Works fine for me. But your issue doesn’t surprise me. Seems every time Kijiji updates their iPhone app it gets slower and more bloated.

What browser are you guys using? What security settings?

I'm wondering what Kijiji is doing. Firefox shows pictures on Autotrader but not on Kijiji unless I turn Tracking Protection off. So Kijiji is doing something that Firefox doesn't like. Any idea what?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

My old time Mac has not shown pics on Kijiji for about a year now. And its to old to upgrade any higher. If i click on the empty pic box next to individual add it comes up,only its one pic. at a time. Bit slow that way having to click on individually but better than someone my age buying a new computer. This thing will likely out last me.

Kijiji is adding more and more tracking to their site and selling the data. Click on something on Kijiji the last year or so and watch the advertisements for like and related stuff start popping up on all your other feeds, especially if you have Azzbook or anything Google related..

Firefox is protecting me. Thanks for clearly stating the issue. I guess I knew what was happening, sort of. Anyway, thanks again.

I figured that was the case. Slow loads, waiting on third party content.
