 * When using this lightbox and clicking next photo 100 times Back button in browser
   will have 100 same pages in history = you can’t go back to previous page.
 * How to disable such a behavior?

 * Hi, SLB allows navigating back through previously-viewed lightbox content using
   the back button for ease of use. This history is removed once the lightbox is
   closed, so moving to previous pages in the browser’s history via the back button
   should function normally.
 * If you are experiencing something different that this behavior, please provide
   a link to a page that exhibits the issue you are experiencing and I would be 
   glad to take a closer look.

 * Sorry, I’ve deleted this plugin, but if you have like 50 photos in the post and
   user clicks through it, somewhere at 25-th photo he may decide to go to previous
   page, not closing the lightbox and..
 * Imho, when you press back button in browser you expect going to the previous 
   page, not previous photo.
 * Also I’m not sure but it seems to me I saw this even with closed LB, back button
   do nothing in this case.

 * All testing confirms that the lightbox history is removed once the lightbox is
   closed. If you can provide a link that exhibits the issue you describe, then 
   I would be glad to reopen the ticket and take a look.
 * Thanks.
