This plugin is very easy and runs well!
In my opinion only one thing is missing - the possibility to switch off the thumbnail-making for separate images. Sometimes you have to resize pictures but you altough do not want to have a big version of it on click...that would make it even better!
Thank you!

This is a 5 star plugin. It does everything I wanted it to do.
If you resize an image within the article, then all the images will pop-up with that particular article.
However, if in another article, you do not resize any images, then no pop-up will appear. Which is great because it means you have more control over which images you want as a gallery.
Bad Points:
The developer should provide some documentation and images, to show exactly how to plugin should be installed, set-up properly and to show how one should edit the images.
Other than the above point (which is immaterial) this is a great plugin. Thanks a million.

This plug in is exactly what I needed. Many thanks to the developer. I will be donating to the coffee fund for this one!
Very nice peace of work. Best plug-in ever. The plug-in did make my site crash all of a sudden. The page with a large file stayed blank. Disabling the plugin the website solved it. After enabling logging I found out that the PHP memory limit was exceeded. In my case this could be solved by adding a .htaccess file in the root of the web space with just one line:
php_value memory_limit 16M
Did not find any support site or forum so I thought of sharing the info here.

It's a wonderful plugin, very easy to use... but... doesn't run in IE7: "cannot open the Web page". I lost many visits until find this problem (I do not use IE, of course, but many people uses). I tried to fix the problem (behavior.php),
but it did not work ... has no support for me (in English or Portuguese) .. unfortunately ..

Write me e-mail and detailed describe your problem and give me link to your site.
It's standard on every site I build now. Thank you!!
It's so simple I didn't realise all I had to do was to insert the image into the editor, resize it manually, save it and everything else is done for me.
Only issue I encountered was that the Highslide and Modal popup options conflicted with the Joomulus component but otherwise the Slimbox works just fine.
An awesome plugin.

I have tried this extension... it's just great!
Easy To Install Easy To Use :)
But I have encountered one problem, which it that it conflicts with "Sample Image Gallery" that am already using in my articles
the problem occur when I use them in the same article.. in that case all SIG images will become the same as mavik image!
but am still using it independently in some articles.

Great extension!
Just a suggestion...
It would be cool if the image pop-up limited it's size automatically to the browser window. That way you could just put any image of any size in the article, resize it for thumbnail, and when the user clicked on it, it wouldn't take up more than the screen size. If the user wanted to view the image larger than that, the pop up could have a link to download or view image in original size. I know the author could(and should) resize to a more user friendly size before upload, but this idea just adds more image options and leaves rooms for lazyness.
Anyways, I love it! Great Job!

I really like the pligin, but found a minor misfunction: if I change an image size with several iterations (i.e. more than one mouse click) it gets thumbnail dimensions of the first iteration only. I think it's better to get final dimensions that are when I save the article.

Plugin don't work when you're editing article. It work when showing article. As others content plugins.
After I've tried before from 5 to 8 other light/slim/thick"boxes", this were the first, which without any hacking worked on Opera.

This Plugin Does What it say.
You only have to simply insert the image into article, resize it according to Your requirement.
it will automatically detect the resized image and show thumbnail....
Great Job

This must be the best way to generate single thumbnails/slimbox. Definately beats all the other ways I've seen.
Though the CSS needs to be edited. Some z-index need to be added to #lbOverlay {, #lbCenter, #lbBottomContainer {, #lbImage {. I added 997, 998 & 999.
Otherwise the slimbox will not be at top. For instance my menu and an extra plugin for showing voting stars were in front of the black slimbox background and the photo.
