selecting different image sizes

When I select any of my images as medium, small or large, they appear initially as a weird gear animation as the images load and then against a background of the greyed out page they were selected from.

How do I turn off that effect?

I have a banner with an embedded flash animation. The banner is not greyed out and now partially covers up the image. The effect ruins the page and since it happens on every single image I have the entire site looks like it was defaced.

When the site was set up this never occurred. What was changed and when was it changed?

Thanks

    Sounds like you have originals that are less than 800px wide on the max side, and also that you have Originals allowed in your gallery. If you either have Larger Orginals or turn off Originals in your customize gallery, LightBox will not fire when you first click on a pic.

    A gallery link would be of wonderful service here, I could see what you mean...

    OOPs Sorry, I forgot that part. www.illustrativeman.smugmug.com

    My originals are huge ( 12*18 ) and I don't allow them to be viewed. That leaves me large,medium and small, which is perfect for my site.

    So, I guess it really comes down to how do I turn off lightbox, which works great if you don't use flash the way I do.

    Hi -

    You are forcing SmugMug Small and you've turned off the bits that allow image size choice, at least in this gallery:

    http://illustrativeman.smugmug.com/gallery/854907

    So, that means that the viewer will always get LB when he clicks on the image. You've got some odd behavior with your customization, with the LB, part of your header shows up in the LB. Looks like the flash component conflicts with our LB.

    Dude!
    I'm getting a lot of hits originating from "smugmug site security" so I assume that's you working on the flash issue.
    Do you need to take a look at the customizations ? Anything to oblige:):

    btw The site is mine, but the css was done by the hired gun.

    Cheers

    d00d - yeah - JT and I set up a little test using our internal systems. It's not public, and there's only a few of us doing it. Should be done soon. Let me know if this causes you any heartache on your server etc ok?
