Hello All --
First off, I'm a total noob here, so please be gentle.
Problem -- I have Lightbox installed and working. However, it shows each image TWICE when you use the "Prev" or "Next" function.
Check out my page and you'll see what I mean. Click on any guitar, then click on a thumbnail image to activate Lightbox -- everything displays twice.
Please help. Many thanks!

Hmmm. Is my question totally off the beam? I know there are some serious brains on this site, and at least one of them has to know how to fix this, right?

Wow -- I'm shocked nobody knows how to crack this one. Is it really that hard? Or is it that uncommon? Anyway, still hoping...
Have you deactivated all plugins but that one and tried it? Have you gone back to default theme and tried it?
I had that happen to me a while back, but it sorted itself out....thing is when it sorted itself out, it was during the time when I redesigned my blog, so I had pulled some plugins, added new ones, and totally rewrote my theme......

RVoodoo -- Thanks for taking time to try and help.
I tried both the default theme and deactivating other plugins as you suggested and neither seemed to make any difference.
Just to be clear -- I'm using Lightbox 2 V. 2.0.2. And even the default theme showed the images twice each.
Geez. Now what?

GOOD NEWS! My programmer friend Andrew cracked this really simple fix --
If you leave any spaces between the end tags on a post, WP essentially has Lightbox call for it TWICE -- hence showing up twice.
So all you need to do is change this --
/albums/tt286/th_red01.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"
*A*
TO THIS --
/albums/tt286/th_red01.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" *A*
ELIMINATE THE SPACE between the lines and Lightbox will work perfectly, using each image only once.
Hope this helps somebody else. I know it's a totally noob problem, but hey, I'm glad it got fixed. Cheers...

WHOOPS -- PLEASE IGNORE WHAT I WROTE ABOVE
The actual fix is in REMOVING ANY SPACE between the <img of the thumbnail and the previous full-sized image tag (a.k.a. jpg">)
For whatever reasons, my code had an empty line between them per below --
rel="lightbox....Sig04.jpg">
<img src=...g04.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"
I simply removed the blank line and it works perfectly.
