I am sure it will catch on one day. Maybe I should improve my web page to make it more clear. Without the fix, lightbox is a bit useless.

I just had a look at your source code, and I think you have a mistake in it. Every image on the page which fires lightbox needs to have the history div around it. Here is the code I would try for each image:

<div onclick="dhtmlHistory.add('location1',{message: 'hello world 1'});countdown()">
<a href='images/paintings/abstractinacrylic1lg.jpg' title=' Title: Red Sky at Night. Size: 24"x36" Acrylic on Board. $400.00' rel='lightbox[abstractinacrylic]' rel="nofollow">
<img height='79' width='79' class='gallery' src='images/paintings/abstractinacrylic1.jpg' alt='abstractinacrylic 0' /></a>
</div>

Give it a try and let me know. Notice the ending div which needs to be in place. I am not sure if you are running the same version of lightbox as me, as mine is modified.

It seems to be a huge problem with lightbox and all my clients want the back button to still work. Im still having a little trouble figuring it out though. I had already had 2.0 running fine so i just took header.js footer.js and dhtmlhistory.js and installed those and made a div with onclick="dhtmlHistory.add('location1',{message: 'hello world 1'});countdown()". Is there something I'm missing? the site im working on is http://ellencoyle.com/ Im really surprised that this fix hasn’t caught on all over the web.

In fact, it's more difficult to get it to work in 1.0. I am using it with a modified version of 2.0 and it works fine. In fact, it’s more difficult to get it to work in 1.0.

Does this only work for Lightbox 1.0? I've already implemented 2.0, can i use that? Hmmm. Does this only work for Lightbox 1.0? I’ve already implemented 2.0, can i use that?
