 * Hi there,
 * I have been trying to embed a video inside of a photo thumbnail, and I’m really
   close but something keeps happening which I can’t figure out.
 * When you click on the thumbnail, the video opens and takes up the whole page.
   When you close this, a secondary floating lightbox pops up with the video inside
   it. I just want the second thing to happen: when the thumbnail gets clicked, 
   a floating window opens with the video, and doesn’t take up the entire screen.
 * Help!
    Thanks
 * click the thumbnail with the picture of the blonde woman and brunette man standing
   there to see what I’m talking about.

 * I deleted the lightbox plugin and then re-insatalled it manually by dragging 
   the files into the plugins folder of my server. I discovered that I was only 
   getting the “double light box” when I uploaded the files via wordpress. But I
   still can’t figure out how to make the lightbox float in its own little box…right
   now it just takes up the whole screen.

 * Thanks man!!,
    did it your way but still got the 2 light boxes … however after
   i re-installed the plugin manually i replaced the rel=”wp-video-lightbox” attribute
   to rel=”lightbox” and that worked.. thanks
