I don’t know if this is intended behaviour, but if you add images to a grid that are below the lightbox max image width/height settings then they are displayed in reduced size but with no way (\*) to expand them to their original size.

For example, I created a grid with 11 uploaded images. Eight were 640x480, so below the default image width/height for lightboxing of 690x500 and the other three were 1200x372, 750x521 and 750x509. The last three were lightboxed (class=lightbox-wrapper). The first eight were class=image-wrapper, so were only displayed as approx 300x250 and couldn’t be expanded to see them in their original larger size.

(\*) This behaviour can be changed by reducing the max image width/height settings, but that then affects all other images in the forum.

I think it would be better if all the images in a grid were automatically lightboxed or alternatively have different settings to the main image lightboxing setttings.
