I use Photobucket for all my images. I believe if you use the 'insert image' icon it ends up a thumbnail displayed on the forum. With a Photobucket account, free by the way 
, I cut and paste the image link in to the post using {img}{/img} on each end of the image url. Swap the {} for []... The [] brackets would have created a hotlink which is why I had to use the false brackets to show you what to do 
If I use this image link from my Photobucket account: http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/u...psuq4qsk6d.gif
But add the proper IMG on each end it looks like this:
But use that same image url and the 'insert image' icon that's in the post toolbar a thumbnail will appear...
Clear as mud, eh?

Ok, I just tried it; hell, I can't figure it out either I don't know what makes an image a thumbnail... What I posted is how it works on a few firearms forums I'm on. HDForums? I'm a clear buffoon... But if you have a Photobucket account, upload your images, you can link to them like I showed you and they will appear in the post... I"m an engineer, but clearly not a software engineer

I've been trying to figure out whether I can make them show up as full size embedded images.
Thanks TCC!

Haha! I know what you mean... Lots of things make lots of sense to me, but then some things...

I used to use Photobucket, but if you move it or delete it from Photobucket it disappears on HDF.
Just hit the insert photo icon (looks like a little mountain). Then you can browse your device, and insert photo.
