I have both large Pics and Thumbnails

Over the past two days I posted several Road Glide parts for sale in the Touring Parts section. I uploaded photos of the items from my Photobucket account using the img tag. In my ad I now have both a large photo and the thumbnails. How do should I upload my photos so I have just the thumbnail pic like most posters do?

Personally I like the large photos and find it PITA to click on the thumbnails but don't want the mods to rag on me for breaking some forum rule if I am.

Thanks for the assistance

Ah...the great mysteries of pictures on the forums. I typically drop in thumbs via the advanced attachment option. Best of luck

"Advanced Attachment Option"? Please explain.

I tried to post a picture from my album, into a post and couldn't. I can do it in my sig, of course, but I want to do it in a post.

Any help is appreciated.

@FXD...got it! Thanks for that. But how do I get the pics from the album to my posts? I had to do the pics to my sig on my laptop. The iPad just won't do it...or I can't figure it out.

If you right click on an image in your album, copy/paste the image link into your post and put the link inbetween this:
