Hi folks - just asking for clues here; what does this page look like to you..? Get there from clicking an 'Add to Cart' button, or 'Shop' heading on the main iZotope page.? Maybe its something my end, but it seems like an old 'hacked-into' text-only broken site... placeholders only (no graphic buttons), one big product graphic, no tables/proper formatting etc... its like all the html hasn't fully/properly loaded for the page to display correctly.

https://store.izotope.com/store?Action= ... ngCartPage

I'm very sceptical about ordering from it. Yet, am very tempted by sale price of £36 (it says) for 'Holiday Bundle Gold edition' - 11 (Elements level) plugins.!

Whaddya say..? URL's look good; it's got an 'https' secure-site designator. just looks ugly :shrug:

Why are you sceptical buying from iZotope directly? Now, iZotope should rethink their price policy if appears too good to be true ;-)

Thanks for responses... I'll try and post a screenshot of what I'm seeing

Regarding suspicion, Digital River are a major player in e-commerce. They dwarf iZotope.

Possibly. Maybe there's something weird with your ISP, blocking the style sheet or something.

Hmm.. no change after a cache clear-out on either browser (Edge and Firefox).

Maybe it is an ISP level disruption - annoying now I've found it. Real test will be decyphering the webpage and trying an actual purchase I guess...

EDIT:- just tried on a completely different machine; still no joy... BUT, found the same-ish deal on Plugin Boutique instead... And then I stopped.! Now I'm wondering, I don't really need any of it... Its all just bad affliction of GAS :hyper: :help:

No worries - thanks for sticking with it... you've got to be right; something is being blocked/diverted/ignored/not supported somewhere into my home. But now, I really must step away from the internet and do something else... :ud: :tu: :phones:

Might be caused by potentially installed addons.

Not an addon, just the built in protection from Mozilla. Just try to remove it by clicking on the blue "shield symbol" before the padlock icon

Reinstall any browsers, it's easy to get out of date. That also sounds like some preference has been checked to "help" protect you.
