I'm trying to get the EtoGalThub and thick box to work. but all I seem to be getting is the progress indicator. Has anyone had this problem? Can anyone offer any suggestions.

Played with it some more and foud that if i remove "rel="gallery-test"" for the <a href> tag for the EtoGalThumb snippet for the Thickbox style it now loades fine.

Glad to see you've found a workaround
As I don't actually use this anywhere (and the site that hosted the demo is down and likely to stay so) I can't look into it easily, and don't really have the time to spare. Removing the rel attribute stops the navigation in thichbox from functioning, but I can think of two possible reasons for it failing with it:

The thickbox code itself may have been changed in the three years since the example was written, and may now work slightly differently
This particular use of rel may not be valid in XHTML 1.1 strict, and the browser you are using may be getting confused as a result (again, three years on the browsers will have changed!)

I can attest that the rel="whatever" arrtibute is still valid <a href=""> tag in XHTML 1.1 because I use rel="external" and a piece of JavaScript to make links open in external windows all the time as the target="_blank" attribute is depricated in that DOCTYPE...

I'd be inclined to agree with mikef regarding changes to ThickBox being the culprit, but that may not actually be the cause of the problem...
