View Full Version : Lightbox not working for linked images

The Lightbox image module seems to not be working for images that are hot-linked.

Example in my build thread: http://www.3sgto.org/f13/saved-crusher-93-stealth-tt-rebuild-restore-304-2.html#post62646

When you click on my images they just disappear and nothing but a small box shows. Mt images gallery processes my image links to show low res images but when you click on the image it takes you to the full res copy. Since we can't click on the images they never get to see the full res copy!

Can you disable it all together as most of the time is does not work on DD or Chrome and it really looks bad and bogs down the browser when it does work. Plus it really slows down the server as it uses AJAX to process the full res image form the server.

I have no issues with it.

Do these work for you?

Happens in both Chrome and FF.,I even disabled all add-ons and still the same thing.

Just says "Powered by Marco" and "Image 3 of 3" with all of the lightbox buttons squished inside of it. The lightbox controls and div box are popping up but the image is not loading inside of the box so the div is rendering as small as it possibly can.

Just checked again on my other computer and it is working in IE and FF 3.6.13. So it looks like it just doesn't work using Chrome.

Having the same problem, Alan. Seems to be a problem with webkit based browsers; works in Firefox, but not Safari or Chrome.

Yeah I just noticed my vBulletin install is doing the same thing in Chrome. they may not have developed it to work with webkit based browsers.

I just turned mine off...LOL
