help with this computer thing

OK I'll admit it, I'm better with a wrench than with this keyboard thingy. The trouble I'm having right now is when I attach a pic to a post it always comes as a small thumbnail attachment. I'm using a macbook air if that matters and would like to know how to attach a photo right in the post?? Can anyone help this frustrated guy out???

Thanks

Click on the paperclip, and you can upload from My Pictures or My Documents. Seems like mine always post as thumbnails too, but when you put your cursor right on the pic, it gets bigger.

thx Geezr, I've noticed that too but thought there was something I wasn't doing to upload the photo's properly.

I'm better with wrenches too but have read on here that you need to sign up for one of the picture storage sites like photobucket. Once this is done there is a way to get your pics from photobucket to your post in the forum. I have not done this yet but have heard this is the only way to get them in your posts as opposed to just an attachment. I'm sure others will chime in and tell you in more detail.
