Would it be possible for you to switch from using the current mod that opens the image in a new window, and switching to Lightbox (Or whatever other one :?)
I have all pop-ups blocked by default, and having to open multiple windows just for the images is getting old ;p.

I used a lightbox mod at first but it was creating chaos with other images.
On the front page it was ruining everything, and in posts + front page even images that didn't need the lightbox (fell under the max size I specified) would become clickable to open with it. It also ruined images used in links.
If you know of one that avoids all that I'll try it out.

And why is your browser opening new windows in the first place? The only browser I know of that would do that is IE, and no one ought to be using that piece of crap anymore. Neither Firefox nor Chrome open new windows, only new tabs for the images on this forum.

Depends on your FF options.

If there's an option for opening new windows it's disabled by default because I've never had Firefox do anything of the sort, and I've touched no settings other than the cookies.
I know for SURE Chrome automatically opens tabs and not windows for the images 'cause Chrome is my default browser.

Tab -> Window. A tab is just a window in a container.
I use Opera, and it pop-ups a sliding message on the bottom I have to click for every image I want to view.
And Osay, can you tell me what mod you used? They should -only- need to modify the bbcode template for [img].

Tab > window, because a new tab is more easily managed. Same browser window, you know. New windows are just annoying and clutter everything up.

BBR - Resize Images with lytebox v3.22 - vBulletin.org Forum
That one should work (His mods have generally been stable for me).
EDIT: I use multiple windows, heres an example of now:
1) Wiki pages I'm using (been open for a week)
2) Mabination
3) Guild Site
4) Guild Site (Testing changes)
5) vBulletin for mod searching.
I get done faster and can close the windows I don't need with CTRL+W when done with them.

I PMed you the ones I tried out when I made nation. Don't think that was one of them so I'll check it out.
Actually that was one of them and it caused problems. Dunno if it's been updated since then though.

I'll try it on my guild site, as I don't have much else to do right now.
