The Thickbox module is a wrapper for the jQuery plugin ThickBox. Thanks to user contributions the module provides automated integration with ImageField (CCK) + ImageCache and the Image module. Drupal 7 and Colorbox as the recommended upgrade path I will not release a Drupal 7 version of the Thickbox... [More...]

When my customer asked me to add full-size slide show display to the thumbnails of his Ubercart product pages, I scratched my head.
Then I found this module. Dropped it in, visited the customer's online store and voila: an instant slide show on every product page! No configuration whatsoever (assuming you have ImageCache installed, which is near-mandatory when you use Ubercart anyway)! The full-size images load quickly, without time-consuming frivolities.
When it comes to impact/effort ratio this module is way up there. What a breeze!
I just installed this on my site, I saw no review has been posted since last year.
This module works with CCK Imagefields so you can specify what size the image should display as. It also has a feature for login and register buttons that give the same effect.
I can see myself using this with other projects also.
A very nice addition to image handling. I use it for all my sites. Saves page reloads and provides an aesthetically pleasing bit of eye candy to image viewing. Five stars!
One of the greatest features of this module is that you can have a nice thickbox login form to replace the usual login form. You just have to configure the module and add a menu link to user/login.
Thickbox will handle the rest, even with the "Login to post comments" links· Great module and easier to use than lightbox and the other ones..
After trying literally every Image module I finally tried this one. People were saying I shouldn't use this module because Lightbox2 is much better. Well, maybe it is, but for me it didn't work.
I felt like a moron; how difficult can it be to display an Image Gallery (from the Image module) in a nice little overlay? It's not with this module! It works like a charm, and that's I definitely cannot say for the other modules I've tried.
Thickbox: yay!
it may be that you can save yourself the step of installing the jQuery update- but after about 1 hour of messing about- i've finally discovered that the reason my site was failing (white screen of death) was due to a necessary thickbox patch. it's not worth the time you save unzipping a module, copying a file and clicking install.
if you install it and it works instantly- the more power to ya. but if you have trouble with it, this module is not reliable, with little documentation. lightbox2 seems much better.
i'm rather perplexed as to why it seems that in every tutorial related to imagecache, they are always promoting thickbox. lightbox2 FTW.
here's a comparison of other thickbox-like modules:

This is part of my default image-module set. Great for use with imagecache, imagefield.
Works with or without the jquery update!
