I understand that you need a certain amount of rep to include an image in a question.
When reviewing 'First-Posts' and I see a question/answer with images as links, is it OK to edit the post and add in the images as in-line ones? Obviously only after checking the image is OK first..!
Here's an example question. The only issue I have with these images, are that they are rather large. I could download them, resize them and then repost them, but that seems too much!
It is definitely good to edit the question to bring the image in the question itself rather than just a link of the image.
On the issues of large images, don't worry about it. Stack Overflow is good at handling them and displaying them correctly.
About the large images, you can access to thumbnails by adding s, m or l before the extension of the file (only if the image is hosted on imgur).
For example:
s.pngm.pngl.pngThanks to Brock Adams for pointing it out.
There are also b (big square crop) and h (huge), see this answer on Meta.SE for examples with details.
Additionally, if you want to display the thumbnail of image linking to the original image, you have to use this syntax:
[![alt text][1]][2]
[1]: Thumbnail URL
[2]: Linked image URL
For example:
[![alt text][1]][2]
[1]: https://i.sstatic.net/7dOo3m.png
[2]: https://i.sstatic.net/7dOo3.png
Gives this:
