There are two ways of posting pictures: as a 'hosted' image, or as an attachment.
If you upload the image to a server somewhere (either your own, or one of the many image hosting sites that or on the Internet) you can then use the 'Insert Image' button to tell the forum software where it is. It will then display it full size within the body of your post.
Alternatively, certain images (within certain size constraints) can be uploaded as attachments. These are store on the Cable Forum server, and are shown as thumbnails at the bottom of your post.
