Forum:New image lightbox

Wikia's made an upgrade to the image lightbox. That is the box that pops up when you click on an image in the default skin. It's currently active on the the Diablo and Assassin's Creed wikis. Wikia would like to roll this upgrade out on more wikis and they've asked if we're okay with being in the next group of wikis to get it. Sarah Manley's asked us about this and I'll copy over her summary of the changes for anyone interested.

"Improvements include:
 * View all types of media (photos and videos) the same lightbox across your wiki (please note that videos that are embedded at width of 320px or larger will play in place on your article and will not launch the lightbox)
 * Continuous viewing - when viewing an item in the lightbox, you can advance through all other photos and videos from the article page
 * Share - you can now easily share out to multiple social media sites and by email right from the lightbox In the new share, the share URLs will share context by sending your friend to the original article page from which you shared with the lightbox loaded with the shared photo or video and all other photos available on the article page loaded into the carousel.
 * Better viewing experience - the lightbox is now larger and displays the maximum possible size of the photos so you can see your media in its best form."

So if anyone is okay with the upgrade or would you rather we didn't get it, could you please say here? If you've any questions or comments, feel free to post them here too. Thanks. -- Deltaneos (talk) 21:58, June 13, 2012 (UTC)
