As for Flash, my bad. While this black nothing was happening, a flash-like (actually more Apple like) "I'm waiting for something to load" spinny thingy was displayed.
And the forward one / backward one buttons kept disappearing off the bottom of the screen.
Either way, crap site IMO but funny picturesComment

Originally posted by Platypus View PostOK let me be more specific. While the first picture loads quickly, about 20-30 in, quite a numbered appeared just as blacked nothing. clicking forward, waiting a while then clicking back and the images were there.

Originally posted by NickFitz View PostAh, right. Yes, it uses PhotoSwipe, which is pretty crap IMHO but is popular at the moment with the kind of people who don't know the difference between JavaScript and jQuery. I think they like it because it proudly trumpets its compatibility with "lots of mobile platforms", though it rather obviously fails miserably in the area of compatibility with anything else.
