Forum:What is it with the Image Popups?

I've noticed that when your curser hovers over an image it automatically generates a pop-up of that image. I see no real use for it because all of a suddon a small thumbnail generates an image that covers up most of the page.

If I am on a File page it generates one for that main image that is a duplicate in size to the original image on the page..

Where is this generated? Local to our wiki, MediaWiki or from the main wiki program.

If I want to zoom into an Image I am quite capable of right clicking on it and opening the link in another tab on my browser without playing Dodge-Image. Glittersword Talk • Contributions 01:28, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
