Hi Carl,
It is ALL plugins. When I click ‘More Details’ within any plugin, or the name of any plugin, a white box appears (this would be where the description would normally appear) with a grey spinning wheel. After a few seconds the wheel disappears and just the white box remains with a cross to close the box in the top right hand corner. When the box is closed nothing happens. This has not always been the case. I used to be able to preview all plugins before downloading. I cannot recall any specific event that preceded the plugins failing to function correctly.
