As I close bugs, I just realized that most of the images on our site are linked to extra pages where the larger version of these images have been put. I think the reason we did this (two years ago) was that we did not really understand the function of colorbox.

Would it be OK, if I change our website images to colorbox objects (only on those where it makes sense, of course))? For those unfamiliar with "Colorbox" it enables people to click on the image and a popup appears of the original large size image.

This will give our site a more modern look.

Christian -- my only complaint of "Colorbox" is that there is no indication that the image can be viewed in its larger format. The traditional "fist with pointing finger" is not used in colorbox and uses the regular mouse pointer (arrow). Maybe this should be pointed out to the SilverStripe people. Regular visitors to our site will just eventually get the fact that clicking on the images will get them the larger views, but, one-time visitors will not know unless there is a caption on the images that says "Click on the image". If the conventional "fist with pointing finger" were used there would be no confusion. Otherwise, Colorbox is great!

Cheers,

Marc
