 * I have installed ThickBox Content plugin but cant get it to work. when I select
   the “Thickbox Content” template and save the page, the formatting is all messed
   up and the link brings you to another page rather than using the effect. Ive 
   searched ‘everywhere’ but cant find anyone with a similar problem…

 * this page has the same content but with the Default Template:
    [http://www.blacklakeonline.com/?page_id=20](http://www.blacklakeonline.com/?page_id=20)

 * even when there is no content on the page, the formatting is messed up
 * I have tried this install on a couple of different WordPress sites with different
   themes.

 * The template was originally created based on the default theme prior to version
   2.8. You can create a custom template based on your default one, but make sure
   you name it the same way as the template that comes with the plugin (copy the
   meta data from the top of the original template into your custom one). When you
   assign ThickBox template to a page, that page will appear in the selection list
   within the ThickBox Content widget. Then you can link that page from a different
   page, by clicking on the ThickBox Content icon in the page editor, and selecting
   a page form “Select ThickBox Content” selection list. Hope this makes sense.
 * Just FIY, the thickbox template is a basic page template, but without a header,
   footer and sidebars just because we only need the content part in it.
