Forum:Annoying Image Viewer

Hello, I am Rocketslime_1_1 from the Nintendo Wiki. Recently the image viewer on the wiki has changed, it now displays all the images as a kind of slideshow. I assume that is most likely because of the Media-Wiki upgrade. Is there any way to change it back to the way it was before?


 * Yes, Wikia made changes to the lightbox and those changes can be seen on wikis with 1.19. Changing it back isn't a practical option, sorry. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  01:46, July 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Personally I don't dislike the new feature in general, but the slideshow frame seems unnecessarily large when I read through a small window. Kind of annoying indeed.


 * Me too, it's also now really confusing how to get to the file page, when you're choosing between "more info", "full size image", or clicking on the title of the file. I also find it less reliable than the old lightbox as it gives you the infinite throbbing of doom much more often-- Category:Acer4666 02:15, July 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you "right click" and open in a new TAB you get just the image in its full resolution, although not the image-file page.--Sxerks (talk) 02:22, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Here's a simple JS fix which you can put in your wikia.js (it would violate the TOU to load it sitewide) to make it go straight to the File: page when you click on an image in oasis: 11:57, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
