When reviewing, I am unable to click on the Main or Supporting photo in order to examine it more closely. When I do so, the screen pretends that an image has been shown, but it doesn’t. There is the usual X (close) button and the background page is shaded over, but no image appears on top.
First noticed today; not been reviewing for a couple of weeks.
Windows 11, Chrome (up-to-date release).
Closing and re-opening Chrome does not help; reloading the page does not help.
I’m on MacOS 26.3.1 and Chrome v 146.0.7680.165 and not having the same issue, but I did notice significant latency loading photos a few times today and yesterday.
I have the same problem. When I click on the photo, the overlay with the close button opens, but the actual photo doesn’t appear. Windows 10 with Google Chrome 146.0.7680.165
Almost certainly related. I’ve confirmed it’s not just latency, as I left the review window alone for several minutes just now and the photo still didn’t appear.

It seems to me that there is an issue with one of Google’s services.

Yeah I’m also experiencing this on and off for the past few days. Both main and supporting photos and photos on the duplicate check. Opening them in a new tab worked fine with those I tried so it’s not the speed of my network.
Firefox for Mac, no plug-ins of any kind, strong wi-fi.
Opening in a new tab and zooming in is a partial workaround - they don’t always open as large as they would do normally. I think.
Thanks for the report @salixsorbus , will it be possible to share a screen recording of the issue?

I don’t know how to take a screen recording, only a screenshot. I will post a screenshot - I only didn’t do so because I didn’t think it would show much

That is what happens when I click on either the main photo or supporting photo. If I walk away and come back a few minutes later, the screen is the same.
You’ll have to imagine what the video looks like from that description

Thanks for the screenshot. I’ve escalated the issue for further analysis and redressal.

I hadn’t checked the nearby wayspots. Same problem.
When I click on a nearby wayspot to see if the one being reviewed is a duplicate (such as when playground equipment is being submitted and I am suspicious that a nearby wayspot is for different equipment, but cannot be sure because the photo is dark and I need to zoom in), the image is not presented.
The wayspot title is displayed though. This screenshot is achieved by clicking on the photo of a Nearby Wayspot.
Removing the =s0 parameter from the URL works. It seems that there is an issue with Google’s image serving infrastructure serving the images in their original, full resolution.

If I could find a URL, that would be a workaround, but no URL is displayed when clicking on a main photo, supporting photo or nearby wayspot photo.
Does suggest the problem is Google not Niantic/Scopely.
It’s working again for me now. That was quick!
Thanx
It’s not working for me, how did you fix it?
It was working, but it has stopped working and is back to how I reported it.
