I'm just curious about this. Am I the only one who isn't seeing the pictures load for the land under auctions? After looking at the details of many, it seems very few images of the land load for me. I'm not sure if this has been addressed before and LL will be fixing this, or maybe it's just trouble on my end.

Same here Ryntha

Altho I do always look at any land before bidding, and would advise others to do so, so it's no biggy.

Generally you probably shouldn't bid on something unless you visit it inworld.

Oh, I always visit before bidding.

I just like to see images so I know it's worth taking the time to look at. I have preferences as to the kind of land I want and if it's a water plot, green plot, mountain plot, or snow plot would be helpful. Especially times like this when I would like to not have to visit 10 sims when only 2 fit my preferences. I really just wanted to know if it was a problem with my firewall or if it is something universal.
