Attached Images in a LightBox?

On previous incarnation (and the one before that ) clicking on a Thumbnail for an attachment caused it to appear in a "LightBox" (i.e. a pop-up panel within the page). Currently clicking on a thumbnail opens the image, on its own, in a fresh window, which is a bit more of a palaver and not quite as "friendly".

Fairly sure that one of the earlier incarnations had Next/Previous links on the LightBox where there were multiple attached images, which was particularly nice.

Just raising it in case its dropped off your radar

Lightbox appears to be included in v3.8, but I have no idea what's involved ... I had a quick squiz on the vB site, FWIW here's the Features Link (which is not a lot of help ... )

3.8 on vbulletin.com - Blogs - vBulletin Community Forum

I did also find this in case its any help:

Admin CP > vBulletin Options > Message Attachments Options > Use Image Lightbox

You also need to make sure you have thumbnails for attachments enabled.

and some chatter saying that you need CLICK and NOT the Hover option (people seemed to find LightBox popping up "on hover" annoying)

Hmmm - it's already selected. Wonder why it's not working?
Funnily enough we are having exactly the same problem over on BoneSmart. Rich is trying to fix that so when he's done, I'll get him to share his secret with me!
