    Lightbox questions

    I've just used the lightbox facility for the first time when I created these two new pages:- http://www.classic-bike-imports.com/motorcycle-art.html & http://www.classic-car-imports.com/classic-car-art.html

    When I click on an image, I thought I was supposed to turn into a full screen image. All that happens is that I get another image of a similar size to the one I clicked on........ can someone tell me if there's a way I can improve on that please?

    Hi,

    What was the size of the image that you loaded into the light box.

    The preferrable image size should be 500 pixels to 600 pixels.
    The thumbs which will be created automatically is also adjustable in size.

    It looks to me that you loaded a thumb size image [200x175] into your lightbox.

      Hi, you have 2 great looking & fast loading pages for bikes & cars. I personally wouldn't recommend the light box for larger size images using the light box. With 50 images i would assume the page will be minimum 1meg in just images, & slow things down quite a bit.
      Regards Chris.
