The insert image is only for images that are already on the web -either at, for example photobucket or on a server you own/pay for (don't use this method for pics that are on other peoples sites, it is called hotlinking and it is not allowed). To do it this way, you must paste the location of the image between the two tags that appear. (It's location is the url that points straight to the image, ending in, for example, .jpg or .gif

The easier way to do it if it is only one or two pictures is to click on Additional Options, under the place you enter text, then click browse and go to the picture that way. The only problem with this is that there is a max image size, and if your picture is too big you will have to resize it, for example in photoshop.

Hope this helps,
Patrick

+1 on what Patrick said *thanks Patrick*

The forum max size is 640x480pxl but if you want people to see a bigger photo you can post a thumbnail that links to the larger photo. I use that feature in ImageShack sometimes.
