Just as a reminder, people who don’t have a HomeExchange account will continue to see only the main listing photo and all the other pictures will be blurred.

Scrolling photos gave you many views of the low resolution photos. Now you only get 5 views.

Selecting view all photos is something we don’t do on Home Exchange as most host photos have not been optimised for fast loading.

Home Exchange need to look into resizing and compressing photos when a host uploads them.

works fine on my side. Check if Chrome is up to date, it could be the reason why you have bugs
