Looks like your problem is local to your computer. Right click works ok for me when viewing your site. See attached.

Any ideas what it may be. I am using firefox browser...?


Update. Ok with IE it gives me save as like yours. Must be a firefox issue.
wonder if this i my browser issue or an issue with PP.

Rather than go through a detailed explanation I will just say that lightbox is expecting to find it's own images in this directrory but the directory probably does not exist. This is why your lightbox window does not have the 'close' button graphic. The easiest fix is to creat the directory if it does not exist and upload the contents of the image directory that came with photopost.

I know this is probably not the best fix, but its the easiest that I can tell.

had the same problem, thanks for the tip.
Thanks,

I looked at my site with Firefox and have the same issue. I also checked the support forum at the developers of lightbox and this seems to be a common issue. It's definitely NOT a photopost issue. You might make a post in the support forum over at the lightbox developers site: http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/

In the mean time, when using Firefox, if you right click on the medium image, then select 'Save Link As', you will be able to save the larger version of the image that way.

This may just be the way Firefox handles pages that use lightbox so I wouldn't expect a resolution anytime soon. This issue also seems to be apparent when using Opera as the browser. In Opera, right clicking on the medium image and selecting 'Save Target As' will save the larger version of the photo. It looks like the easiest work-around is to right click on the photopost medium images and save the large photo that way. That's not the most desirable way but for now I think it's all there is. It may take some time for the lightbox developers to get this issue figured out.

Thanks for the answer to Firefox problem with saving.
I feel better knowing its a known issue with Firefox and not Photopost.

Yes any issues with Lightbox can be directed to their site. We simply include their publically distributed code with our product and its limitations they need to support. Hopefully it is a work in progress and they will update it but it is a pretty cool little think.

Chuck, what do you think about changing the title of this thread to something that better describes it's content like 'Photopost triggers, Firefox, & Opera issues'? I feel a little silly having named this thread the way I did since the Photopost Lightbox integration works just fine aside from the few minor flaws mentioned here.

Well honestly it really doesnt matter what you call the thread thats fine. Users reading this thread will understand that lightbox code and issues are discussed on the lightbox site so its all good my friend.
