To add a picture to your posts you have to click on "Image Uploader" under your smilies on the right, upload your pic and follow the given instructions. If the picture is too big (more than 800x600 or bigger than 1MB) use the "Manage attachments" option in the "Additional Options" section. The same concept goes when you want to attach pictures to your PMs.

BTW: Please, don't double post, we have an EDIT button down there.

Have a nice day
