Your are not a paid member so the image size is rduced. just throw them on photobucket or a similar service and use the link function to get around it.

If you use the Forum search you'll find more details, but this is what I do:

1) Take your pic
2) Use an image editing program like Paint.net (http://www.getpaint.net/) and resize the image to 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels high (or less)
3) Save the image
4) Check the size of the image on your drive; if it's less than 150KB you are good to go
5) If it's greater than 150K resize it again (to something smaller than 800x600), or lower the 'quality' of the image (assuming you are saving to JPG)
6) Repeat the resize/quality changes until you get something 150KB or less with acceptable visual quality
7) Click the IMAGE icon on the post toolbar, select 'From Computer', and then choose your file(s)
8) They should upload into your post, you'll see an attachment tag for each image. I usually put a space or two between each one
9) Add any text you want to the post and preview and/or submit it

NOTE: You can only upload 5 images in each post/response, this includes smiley icons and such. If you have more than 5 to post, just respond to the thread again.

A lot of people also use photo hosting services and then just link to the pictures.
