Same here, I open one photo, when trying to go to the next photo it freezes, and then says page unresponsive.  Asks me to wait or close page, if you wait nothing happens.  If I open it on my computer they will open fine.

Hey there CES2, I hope you're doing well! 

 

Would you mind clarifying if this behavior is happening on a specific browser? Have you tried a different browser, by any chance? 

 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

    This issue happens on Chrome and Mozilla. Clearing the cache did not solve it.

    Please provide us with solutions
