Is it acceptable here to post an image that meets the forum's size limitations (for aiding those with the smaller monitors), but to make that image clickable to a larger size (for those that want to see a larger image for commenting/critiquing)?

Just curious to know before I do it and receive the wrath of the mods here.

We do permit a separate link to a larger image. That way it is the choice of each viewer whether to follow the link or not. Usually I would recommend not making the image posted here, itself, the link to the larger version because that is not an obvious thing to do. Post a separate URL that people can explicitly see and click on, and they are more likely to use it.

Thanks, Royce.

Typically, in other forums, I put some text like "click image for a larger version". Just as long as I know it's o.k. to provide the link. Thanks again,

Regards,
