My images do NOT Appear in Google Preview ??

ver 1.3.9c

I just noticed with the new Google Places released in the last couple days. that when you preview a listing ( the Magnify glass to right of listing) on Zen Carts the images do NOT appear in the preview.

For my site if you type in Google "Vintage Movie Posters" (withotu quotes) my site is #3. Note how the #2 site displays all images. but mine NONE of the product images or even banner at top appears.

Also the guy in positions below at 4 and 5, all his images display in preview..??

Maybe something to do with your Image Handler addon?

Would ove to hear more. Any others have some issue?

First impression is I cannot see how there could be an association with image handler, if the site displays images ok when loaded, but NOT when previewed from Google SERP listing

I see lots of Zen Cart sites (not using IH) which appear just fine in GP. Your IH images which are all served from a cache seemed to be the most obvious wildcard.
I could be wrong.
You could turn IH off temporarily and see what happens on the next indexing of your site.

Thanks, that seems to make sense.

I guess maybe it's time to look for an IH Upgrade or other image display alternatives.
