BTW, this is also happening in Opera on my laptop AND my insider hub PC with version 14393.3.. I have Opera beta on that PC as well and the issue does not occur on the beta

Opera turbo disabled...tried with ad blocker enabled and disabled. also deleted all of opera including folder in appdata followed by a clean install...looking at inspect element showing img=err. Looked like a java error, so I uninstalled that and re-installed..still no good.Edge displays them all with no errors but I prefer Opera.

Copy of element for image load:

Recently the thumbnails in MSN.com/my topics are only showing the picture placeholder instead of the thumbnail. Edge displays them fine. Have clean installed Opera, disabled plugins and updated java with no help. Anyone else having a similar issue. Prior to a few weeks ago they were working fine. Running Opera 38 on Windows 10.

If you have Adobe Flashplayer installed, uninstall it. Flash is built into Opera and if you have Adobe's on there, they can conflict.
