stopPropagation() doesn't stop the link from being followed.

Using CSS animations seems a bit pointless. Sure, it might use a teensy bit less CPU, but it doesn't work on all browsers.

Not a teensy in my PC... I think 10% difference, or so.
Personally I don't care about older browsers when what's in cause is just something to make it look more "beautiful transaction between 2 states". I don't know what's the way of working in phpBB for that, though.
That comes with more concerns we need to decide if we are going to solve or not.
  1. If the image is larger than the screen size. How should it be done?
  2. If the image would fit the screen if it was aligned to the left side of the screen, should it adjust that or just not care?
  3. What's the size used to show when showing in the zoomed size? The max between the screen size and the image? Just the image size?

Horizontal scrolling? If the user is expanding an image, they should expect it to get bigger.

How do you suggest this be done, then? Force the user to open the image in a new tab? That would involve horizontal scrolling, too.

Please think your comment through in the context of the topic.

How about this:
First, expand to, at maximum, the width of the user's screen.
Second, if the width of the image is still larger, provide a link to the full image (original size) in a new tab.

Why in a new tab? Why not just give the user the option to expand it in the current tab? It's exactly the same behaviour, but opening it in a new tab seems like horrible behaviour to me.

Opening in the current tab is probably the most proper behavior, that gives the user the option to open in a new tab or current if they want.
