This store is heavily modified for our own needs and is a result of many months intense development. There’s lots under the hood of this baby. The new skin was published last August 28th and is very fresh.
However we are experience a serious problem but don’t quite know what to do about it. We have been getting feedback from many customers who tell they can’t see our product images. Unfortunately they lack enough expertise as to understand why they are not seeing them. We don’t know the kind of environment they use or if there’s something in common among all those who have reported it to us.
We have tested our site in many different browsers, from several different machines and still haven’t been able to “not see” product images.
Could you please give me some feedback as to if you’re seeing our product images or not - and if not - list your:
