Hi VFX Dude,

I did not realize this bug until my coworkers pointed it out. I work on a mac so I don't usually get to test IE 6,7, & 8.

LightBox 2 is giving me trouble in multiple areas:

1) I have a blog using the PhotoBlog template. In IE6 the images do not resize correctly, and thus get dropped down below the article text. See screenshot:

2) In IE 6 ,When using LightBox 2 on a normal page with the default template, the images don't resize well. They appear very "crunchy" looking. See screenshot:

3) In IE 8, on a post page the LightBox 2 image does not scale down and thus extends into my default sidebar area (where I use a BF Page Widget). See screenshot:

I do not have access to IE 7 so I can't say what happens there. I am using WP v3.0 and Big Feature v1.3.5.1 and have not upgraded to the most recent version because I am very close to launching the site and did not want anything to break causing more work.

Any help would be much appreciated because I am supposed to launch the site tomorrow (7/21).
THANK YOU!

I wish I could say the same thing, but the target audience of my website are fortune 500 companies that are stuck in the stone age and have IE 6, 7 & 8 baked into their windows XP installations and can't even install a competing browser.

IE6 has big problems with *.png images. Maybe the problems in point 2 cld be because it´s a *.png image file`in use? Or do you think thats because of a scaling/resize problem.

is it the lightbox plugin causing this? Does it work when it's disabled?

images inserted into the post should have the correct width, should not rely on any resizing there.

I must just add that I really hate IE6. I have spent so many hours this summer getting the new version of the theme to work with IE6. Almost giving up...
