    I am not getting the lightbox effect. When I click on an image, it just shows the individual image in a browser window 🙁

    This is a great plugin, although I can only really use the Shutter and Thickbox effects and not Lightbox or Highslide as I get the same issues described below. However, how can I justify the thumbnails to one side AND have text on the other side, please? That’s the one thing I’m missing out with this plugin. Thanks.

    I am just seeing these comments now… check the link I just posted in the ‘Description’ above (I can’t post links in ‘reply’ sections) and let me know if this is the Photo effect you’d like the images to display in (Lightbox). I haven’t had an issue with displaying photos in but noticed a few of you have. Let me know if it was resolved!

    Im having a real issue with my images INCREASING in size! I just uploaded a 73k image that was 800×600. I have the options in NextGen Gallery set to resize to 800×600 max and to use only 35% quality. Now that the image is in the gallery it is now 370k! I dont understand why it does this to all my images. Any help or tips?

    Yes, NextGen gallery is totally flawed I’m afraid. And, the Public Uploader extension is awful. Looking for premium alternatives.
