Re: Gallery and the Lightbox Feature

Just remembered in order to get lightbox working I had to make a 
modification to the images module resize function. The changes are in 
monotone and will be in the next xaraya release.  So make sure you are 
using the images module from monotone.  I'll also provide a images 
module download on my website in the next couple of days as well. later.
