Konq slow on ebay and flash going awol

[John]

Hi
When I go to ebay (.co.uk) I get a long pregnant pause about when the offers 
should appear in the middle of the screen. Konq eventually comes up  with the 
offers. I'm taking a look at opera. This does the same thing but eventually 
comes up with the following:

Network problem

You tried to access the address 
http://uk.ebayobjects.com/1ai/ebay.uk.homepageinactive/inactive;dcopt=ist;sz=275x100;tile=8;ord=1140788262916;, 
which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) 
is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.
...........blah blah blah

And then under ebay recommends:

Network problem

You tried to access the address 
http://uk.ebayobjects.com/1ai/ebay.uk.homepageinactive/inactive;tn=2;to=h;tr=2;tw=240;ta=center;szs=100x100,100x100;ord=1140788262916;, 
which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) 
is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.
...............Blah blah blah.


Impressive - a sort of mini web page appears in the centre of the page with 
help and support links too. Not that I'm complaining about konq but have had 
problems with this and flash on some sites. Hence opera. Also unlike firefox 
and mozilla it has a plug in that allows any mime type to be associated with 
any application.

The Konq problem started about the time ebay introduced myebay's for visitors 
pages. It also now throws up the state of myebay in a small scrollable area 
of the screen if it recognises the user, maybe any user via some odd sort of 
cookie. Looks like the above is the cause of the problem. Is something messed 
up or is this a bug?  (maybe it's down to the pre release of explorer 7 for 
web site testing.) Also any thoughts on flash starting ok but slowly loosing 
the image?

Regards
John
