This may be really stupid, but as a gold member I can insert photos directly without an image hosting site. I am having trouble with this. Could someone coach me a bit? Do I need to downsize (reduce pixels) for this or does that happen automatically?

I have only posted a picture once and had all kinds of difficulty doing so. It came out really small.

I go to "insert picture", find my picture on my computer and see the image listed.... then what do I do next? Right click, hit enter? Does the url have anything to do it when it is coming directly from my PC?

I have read the picture posting threads but most seem to apply to a hosting site. How do I control the posted size? I would prefer the picture to show up full width when it is shown either visible or as one you click on to enlarge.
 
I haven't been able to insert a photo for nearly a year now. I posted my own thread on the issue and received very little help so I just gave up and started using photobucket.
 
I found this

How can I post an image to the site? Simple: Go to http://www.imgur.com and upload your image. After uploading, select the BBCode option - it starts with

Copy. Paste. Enjoy.

I uploaded an image to imgur then copied, then pasted then...
