Photos can't be enlarged

Profile picture for contemporary

I've noticed this for a while... on my property and on others.  When it says, for instance, click on all 15 photos, nothing happens.  You need a magnifying glass to see all of those tiny photos.  They just won't enlarge anymore.

A work around that will give you even larger images - in some cases the size that was actually posted:

1) RIGHT click on the photo

2) If using firefox or netscape, select "Copy image location"; if using Internet Explorer, select "Properties" and find the "address" of the "picture".  (Netscape & Firefox also have the "properties" option, but it is more steps)  After finding the "address", highlight, and "copy" (Ctrl-C).

3) Open new browser window (can be done with the "files" pull down tab, but with Firefox or Netscape, CTRL-N)

4) Paste the address into the address bar (CTRL-V)

5) Find the letters "jpg".  Delete EVERYTHING after jpg.

6) Press enter

7) If Zillow gives an error message, the original image was wider than 1200 pixels.  Go back to the address bar, and after the letters "jpg" type:   ?size=800,0

8) Press "enter" again.

 

It is amazing how much better the images come out this way.  You can also "bookmark" these images, and even if the image is deleted from the home, the bookmarked image REMAINS.  Zillow NEVER deletes the original images!  (Even though I keep telling them they should delete them if no longer referrenced).

By the way, Firefox is now working correctly for the images... for a while Zillow blocked the images based on some strange log-on perameters, and even when the "fixed" it they had told the browser to block images from the Zillow website.  To check to see if you still may have images blocked, right click on the square where the image was supposed to be.  If there is a check-mark next to "block images from...", click on it to remove the check-mark, then reload the page.


Also make sure you still have java-script turned on in the "options" or "preferences".  It may also help to clear cookies.

Also Zillow is a lot slower loading the images now, so you may have to wait a bit to see anything happen.
