Hi Hokey

I've just checked your links and lightbox is working fine! Maybe you just need to clear your browser's cache.

Hmmm... now it works for me too (without clearing the cache)!?
Could you try to open lightbox in this entry: Click. Or this one.

Both definitly don't work for me, even with cleared cache.

Hi

neither link works for me - and I've looked at the code and the plugin is inserting the (rel="lightbox") code into the image link so it should work.

When I couldn't get this plugin to work on one of my sites I inserted the code myself like this

Code: Select all

<a href="http://static.zooomr.com/images/3523713_9f992e8b68_b.jpg"    rel="lightbox" ><img src="http://static.zooomr.com/images/3523713_9f992e8b68.jpg" /></a>

As far as I understand the lightbox plugin, it is only working with local images, not with images saved on external servers (as zooomr in your case).

P.S.: No, I am wrong (tested it now). The plugin works with external images too. In your case the script is not loaded and you should update to the newest version (1.5) of the lightbox plugin. If it is not already the case you should switch off "Javascript optimization", reinstalling the LightBox script on any page again. This optimization doesn't seem to work on all blogs.
