As the title say
It seems as though the Gallery lightbox isn't set to establish the browser height ( havent seen a problem with width )
Anyone else having this problem?

Lightbox does not resize - it's all based on the size/aspect ratio of the image.

Sorry!

Just wondering why you used a lightbox2 clone that is almost 6 years old?

Most lightbox like fancybox and slimbox autoresize to fit the view portal.

Is the lightbox clone easy enough to override as it is outdated now and no matter what images our users upload for their galleries we still want them viewable without scrolling.

I have used a few lightboxes on many sites in the last 3 years and never had this problem.

Even lightbox2 has the ability to keep the viewport in perspective.

But as this isn't lightbox2 but a jquery plugin that was inspired by lightbox2 in 2008, lightbox2 has had many updates since then ( latest only 4 hours ago, I checked on github )

I hear you - most of the new lightbox scripts are just very heavyweight and require more extensive "setup" than the version of lightbox we use (which can be enabled with simply a class). It worked well in JR4 so we stuck with it for JR5.

If you have suggestions for a better light box I can check it out.

Thanks!

Just checking out lightbbox2 and it looks like it is almost as easy to integrate as the old one - I'll check out updating the current one to work with lightbox 2 instead.

Got lots to offer

My pick would be
http://dev7studios.com/plugins/nivo-lightbox
Although I have used a fair bit of their software on responsive sites and highly recommend it
