I'm pleased to announce that I've installed a "lightbox" to the forum to make viewing images easier and more well convenient I suppose would be one word.

How does it work and what is it?
Well, most websites of a big size when showing images won't popup a new window to show them but rather will show them as an overlay on the screen and allow you to click on the right side of the image to move to the next attached image (if there is one) and click on the left side of the image to move to the last image (again, if there is one).  Our light box will do the same thing making it easier to view the images as an overlay ontop of the forum instead of in a new window that you have to close.  To close the light box image simply click the exit or x on the lower right corner of the image.

You don't need to do anything special to get your image to show up as a lightbox image simply upload it to your post as you normally would, when somebody clicks on the image it will be shown to them in the new lightbox fashion.

If you have any trouble seeing the images in whatever browser you use please let me know, I've tested it in Internet Explorer 8.0, Firefox 3.x and Googles Chrome and the images are viewable and work for next, last and exit.  But if you have an issues first please make sure you are running the latest version of your browser and if you are then let me know and maybe (maybe) we can work something out.

Thanks,

And of course an example below:

Edit: It will only work on images that you attach to your post, and external images that are not hyperlinked anywhere else
For example, it should work on this image(because it doesn't have a hyperlink on it) but won't work on the second image below(because it's hyperlinked) but will work on the thumbnail below (because it's an attached image):
