Can Shadowbox and Lightbox co-exist?

Shadowbox is my media viewer of choice, and i've had no problems up until now.

Recently I bought a plugin that alows visotors to my wp blog to upload images with their comments, this pluging has its own lightbox folder and ther is no way (that me or the developer of that plugin can figure) to have it use shadowbox alone by changing the rel="lightbox" tags to rel="shadowbox", because nomatter what we do it opens the image in and iframe window and that just dosent look right, the link to the pic is as follows: http://www.zacoalconet.com/wp-content/plugins/comment-image-uploader/phpthumb/phpThumb.php?w=800&h=800&src=/wp-content/uploads/En52Q00.jpg

What seems odd to me is that the first part of the link ends with "phpThumb.php" and i think shadowbox is seeing this as a website or somthing and not like an image. The "REAL" link to the image is http://www.zacoalconet.com/wp-content/uploads/En52Q00.jpg but for some reason it needs to reference the php file or else the plugin breakes my entier site.

I tried using lightbox but unless i disable iframe support in shadowbox this link is opened by both, and i realy dont want to disable iframe support because that's my favorite shadowbox function, my last resort was adding the rel="nobox" tag but since the rel="lightbox" tag is needed in order to view the image in lightbox, shadow box (in my opinion) is giving prefrence to the [lightbox] over the [nobox] option and it still opens the image in both media viewers (shadowbox in an iframe window). So for now I disabled shadowbox but i'm not confortable letting my visitors go every time i refrence an external link.

I'm prety much out of ideas, is ther any way of disabling lightbox support in shadowbox or some way of having shadowbox open the pics in the img player without removing the "phpThumb.php?w=800&h=800&src=" from the link?

I know i wrote alot here and my engilsh is sketchy (at best) but considering i live in Mexico it's not that bad.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

I'm in some way in the same situation. I use Wordpress and vSlider theme for Gallery2 which has embedded support for Lightbox.
I recently discovered Shadowbox through  Moose Peterson web site and loved it for its capacity to show also web pages.
I would appreciate some help to make use of vSlider's embedded capacity to add rel="lightboxbox" to Gallery pictures in order to turning it into a rel="shadonbox".
Rui Pereira who developped vSlider is now a busy entrepreneur and I'm affraid he doesn't have much time to make that sort of changes to his theme
Thank you.
