How to post pics in a reply

Sorry guys, but after I create a thread, people reply, and I want to reply with additional pics, I cant seem to figure out how to post pics. Any ideas? Thanks
 
If you do a "quick reply," I think you can't add pix. If you do a "post reply," as I'm doing here, you have the same picture option as you do when you start a thread.

This is a picture from a website above. Below is a picture I'm uploading from my computer by "manage attachments" below.

OK, I'll ask the stupid question.
Pete, I know how to add a photo to a post but they're just small thumbnails. How do you get that huge one you said came from a web site posted with a message?

Go to a photo hosting site. I use Photobucket.com . Set up an account if you don't have one (they're free up to a point.) Post your photos there. Once you get your photos on, view one and somewhere there should be an "img" code or something like that. Copy that code (control C or command C on a Mac) and then paste it into your message text. There should be some info in FAQ's at the top of this site. Good luck.

Here's a link to the instructions on this site:

PS: The image I posted here is a little too large for the page size. What I usually do is open the file in HP image edit and reduce the width of the picture to 700 pixels. I think that photo is over 1200 pixels wide.

PPS: The image below shows how I view the image on Photobucket. The "img" code is to the lower left in the screen shot. I just click on that number and it automatically copies it. (I'm using a Mac. It may act differently on a PC.)
