Opera browser users/mavens, some help? Images on some sites not showing up

In My Humble Opinion
1

Starting yesterday, on a few sites such as NPR.org, homepage image previews suddenly stopped showing up. Instead of the image I get a big white minus sign in a blue circle. When I click on the story I can read the story, but there is no image there either, just the minus sign. If the image is a link to a video, the video seems to work (although it’s possible this varies by site).

Any ideas about what’s going on here

Does the page look ok in another browser?

Opera has integrated ad blocking which can cause some funky behavior.

FWIW, I’m using Opera on an Android phone, and I see no problem with the images on npr.org.

Yes, forgot to mention, I tried it in Firefox and it is fine. That’s why I assumed it was the browser.

I’ve been using Opera for around a year I think, and this just changed yesterday. I’ve been considering re-installing the program (which I hate doing because it took me a while to get the settings the way I like it).

I went ahead and re-installed, and there was a version upgrade available. It picked up all my old settings from the previous version. The problem still exists exactly the same as before the upgrade.

The ad-blocking feature is not working properly either. But even when I turn it off, the other stuff happens.

I happened to be looking at foxnews dot com (hey, someone here on SDMB linked to it) and I noticed the same minus signs on that site too, but as I scrolled down the page I noticed the images would come up if I gave the screen a couple of seconds instead of immediately scrolling past.

I’m using Opera now but not seeing the errors you’re seeing.

8

I still don’t know what was wrong, but I had to uninstall and then re-install Opera to fix it. A real pain in the ass, but it’s working now. I was using Firefox for a few days while I figured out what to do, and I’m glad I was able to go back to Opera.

I’m using Dropbox (with Microsoft Edge browser) and I too only see outlines with filenames when I open a folder.
If I click on one, the image appears (and additionally shows all the images in that folder in a sequence of tiny images along the bottom of the screen which I can scroll through.)

Any idea how to get my large view images back?!
