I am getting random reports that the thickbox gallery wont appear when a thumbnail is clicked. Works for some, not others. I cant find a common thread in failure. Does a machine require a certain version of Java for it (jquery) to function?

It's JavaScript and not Java, they have actually nothing to do with each other.

You need a reasonably modern browser for THickbox/jQuery to work. At least Internet Explorer 6 but a better choice is Internet Explorer 7 and, of course, truly modern browsers like Firefox, Safari or Opera.

I use Drupals build in JavaScript check so I believe Thickbox should be inactivated for old browsers. I don't have any computer to test this on however.

Thank you. I guess there is no way for a user's session to default to non-javascript based album if they have an old browser. That's very likely a separate issue to Thickbox however.

When Thickbox is inactive the image should simply open by itself in the browser window. A more complete fallback functionality would be possible but is not something I plan to add.

Take a look at Comparison of "lightbox" type modules here on drupal.org. Some of the other modules may fit your needs better.

It indeed open, but only after clicking on the image title, not the thumbnail.

I will look into other modules, thought I had a problem with one already.

Thank you for your attention on the issue.
