As well as receiving lightboxes via the mail out service (see above) you can create your own and send them. The lightbox function allows you to group the images that you want in to a single collection and send thumb nail versions of them as a single e-mail to anyone you like via our built in e-mail function. The term Lightbox comes from when negatives were cut from rolls of film and places on a table with a light underneath it so that the images could be previewed. This is the electronic version of a lightbox.

How do I use the Lightbox Function?

To use the lightbox function you need to have registered with us. Registration is free and we don’t use the data for anything else but MotorSportMedia communicating with you. See our privacy statement for more information if you are concerned.

Once registered, login using the Member Login under the options tab on the left hand side of the screen and then select My Lightbox. If you are creating a lightbox for the first time enter a name in the box under “Create New Lightbox” and the click GO. This will create an empty lightbox on the system.

Once created you must select the lightbox using the drop down menu before you can add images to it. Click on “Select a Lightbox” and the drop down menu will show you the lightboxes associated with your account. Once selected you can start to add images to that that lightbox.

To add an image to your selected lightbox, click on one of the categories on the left of the screen or use the database to browse. Under an image you will see a + symbol. Click on this to add the image to your selected lightbox. Once a thumb nail image has been added you will see the symbol change to a – sign. Add as many images as you require and when you have finished, click on My Lightbox under the option tab on the left of the screen.
