Introduce a lightbox about mybb.com

[Kaeden]

Most of the screenshots are still too scaled down to show any additional details even if we use a lightbox (tour screenies for instance).

Which images are we talking about? The feature tour images? I guess users may want to zoom in on those, though I am tempted to just link directly to the full images and avoid the work of implementing a lightbox as well as the extra HTTP requests.

However I would not add a lightbox for the images on the homepage, or generally any hero/jumbotron/banner. That's just marketing stuff, the user doesn't really need to zoom in on it.

There are no full images for the tour, they already are sized down.

[pkill37]

So add full size images.

If we're to add full images, then we should probably add the lightbox as well, it's still going to be some work replacing them.

The idea is to have full size images, scale them down with HTML/CSS, and upon clicking a lightbox appears with the full image.

It's a pitty I deleted the full size screens from my PC when I replaced the tour images. Now we have to redo them all over again.

@justinsoltesz If I update jquery to the latest version (needed for the lightbox), it will break website functionality? Or should I use a separate header for the tour?

[nmalcolm]

@Kaeden No need to update jQuery. I used http://fancyapps.com/fancybox/ which works fine.

The first three pages of the tour have been updated.

Though keeping jQuery up-to-date isn't the worst idea. ;)

[Kaeden]

I thought of using the same one I used for the mods site... but if this one works too :-)

[pkill37]

This has been fully implemented, right?

[Kaeden]

Yes, I think so.
