I understand this intimately. My comment is not a knock against Invision in any way. (As if to say you guys didn't do your homework or something.) Lightbox 2 is likely the best choice under the circumstances. I'm just throwing out a solution I have used in the past as an end user. Personally, I own a Shadowbox license. So, I use it. Each end user has to make that call for themselves. Several lightbox clones to look at for anyone interested... http://planetozh.com/projects/lightbox-clones/ I haven't gotten around to looking at it in IP.Board 3.x yet. (Combination of laziness and also waiting out the initial wave of version point upgrades.) But, if I get a chance soon (and nobody beats me to it) I will report back. (Shouldn't be too much more than uploading the script to public > js > 3rd_party and then maybe swapping out a few calls depending on exactly how one chooses to deploy it.)

They're appearing under the content blocks the way it is now in IP.Blog. So, I think I'll take the risk. ;) As to not being able to right-click and Save images... Not all Lightbox scripts are created equal. I've found Shadowbox to be superior to Lightbox 2 in many ways, but not the least of which being that it remedies this situation. It's not free if you run a commercial site, but there are others that are that are still better than Lightbox 2.

At this point, I have but one unfavorable issue with IP.Board 3.x... The lack of proper lightbox usage on resized, hyper-linked images. I submit the following example: http://community.invisionpower.com/blog/2553/entry-3542-member-related-hooking/ Mind you, this is a blog entry. But, hyper-linked images act in the same way on the forums as well. (Too lazy to search for a post example too. :P ) For starters, at least in FireFox, the images are often not resized the first time I visit the page. I have to do a screen refresh in order for the images to be nicely resized and not full size (half hidden under the content blocks to the right). The real issue, however, is that once they are resized, clicking on them only expands them inline instead of launching them in lightbox. Given the fact that it happens on my forums as well as here I can only assume this is desired effect, for some reason, and not a bug. Having them launch in lightbox like thumbnails and gallery images do (ex: ) would be much more desirable, IMO. It's probably simple enough to take a look at the template bits and code this to work on my own. But, I'm putting it out there because I really can't see why this isn't a built-in feature. Thanks for listening. :)

Werd... It would save me a few minutes having to compare for myself in Notepad Plus.
