If you've scrolled down to see the entire image (as I have to do on my site...I need to make my header shorter), then click lightbox, you don't see the entire image, and you can't scroll up because lightbox is on top of everything.
Try it here and see http://davidson.smugmug.com/gallery/1532016
So, something needs to be tweaked.

Looks to me like you've got some oddness going on (at least in IE7 anyhow). I see 2 scroll bars on the right which tells me that you've got an extra overflow:auto on some element that you don't need (maybe the body tag?) Anyhow, I can't replicate your problem on IE7. Also I can't properly diagnose it (easily) since I don't have firefox/webdev right now.

Well, I see it in IE6, and most of the planet still uses that so I would hope it would work with IE6.

Which means it now has crazy jumpies. There's got to be a way to fix that IE6 suckage. I'll look into it.

Make your browser narrow (like 800px wide or so) and then view the lightbox in IE6. Then hover your mouse over the lightbox image. That's crazy jumpies.

I have a fix for this issue: I kept the position:static and the scrolling-problem does not appear.
The fix involves JavaScript though. I've posted about this a couple of times in other threads. I asked that this fix could be incorporated in the javascript of Smugmug, but i have not had an answer yet.

See post #13 and #21 in this thread about problem:

See post #4 in this thread for the JavaScript fix:

Update:
I reported this bug in the bug-thread.

I have a fix for this issue:

Too complicated for me...I'm just going to do some searching in the forums and see what needs to be done to disable lightbox. IIRC it was pretty simple.
