First I must ask you to please avoid putting your pictures on other sites then linking to them in your posts. Doing this means all your pictures will load full size every time somebody views the thread.
We understand that you want people to see your pictures full size and most of us want to see them but not every time we visit the thread. For people with slow internet connections it creates a big problem because loading all the full size pictures makes the thread very slow to load. The result is that people will avoid the thread after the first time they see it.
To add pictures to posts:
When you enter the text of your message scroll down to below the "Submit Reply" or "Submit New Thread" button and you will see a "Manage Attachments" button. Click the "Manage Attachments" button and you can upload up to five images with the current post.
This places thumbnails below your post so people can choose what to view full size rather than having the pictures pushed in their face. The software also resizes your images to the maximum size allowed (if they are too big) and also creates an intermediate size for big pictures. The thread loads much faster and everyone is happy. Another benefit is that you don't lose all your pictures when another size makes changes.
Many thanks for your support and cooperation.
