Is there any way to make images that are included in a Q & A open in a larger view when either clicked on or hovered over? Some times I need to post a larger image than will fit, but I don't want to necessarily have a large image take up a lot of space in the normal view.

Include a smaller image in your post and link to the larger image.
With images uploaded to Stack Exchange's imgur server (as they should), you can add s or m to get a smaller image.

You can also specify width and height attributes in the img tag to perform arbitrary resizing. If you specify only one, the aspect ratio is kept.

Is there any risk in doing it like this?

I was thinking there might be issues with the renumbering of links that the editor does for you if you insert another link above this one. I can try, but wasn't sure.– slm ModCommented Dec 19, 2013 at 23:01

Just tried and it breaks the numbering if you try and put something in front of a link that includes

@slm Oh, well, I don't use the numbering. Just use the direct URL form and the editor won't bother you. Commented Dec 19, 2013 at 23:09

Yeah I'll just have to adapt to doing that way instead. Thanks for the tip.– slm ModCommented Dec 19, 2013 at 23:10
