[ Fixed ] Press L / Lightbox not working correctly?

eyetwist says:

If I'm on an individual photo page in my photostream (any) and hit "L" or click on the photo with the magnifying glass, the lightbox feature opens up (black background) but the large photo does not appear, just the spinning pink and blue dots.

However, if I'm on my main photostream page and I hit L, no problems with photos appearing in lighbox.

Anyone else experiencing this? The problem appeared within the last 24-36 hours.

Same thing happens in both Firefox and Safari.

I can confirm that I'm seeing the same thing on your photos, in Firefox 16.

However, it's only on your photos. On mine, and anyone else's I check, it works just fine. Perhaps staff needs to kick the tires on your account.

Yup. I can see it on your photos too.
I thought it may have something to do with the square format, but no. I uploaded one and it displayed fine.

eyetwist: The Lightbox should be working correctly now, sorry about that. A change made last Friday related to the camera settings / EXIF UI caused a JS error for some photos.

EXIF should also be showing for your photo, and is not due to a related bug - I'll have a fix out for that soon.

The inline "camera settings" EXIF should now be showing on that photo, as well. For more on that feature, see the official thread.
