File size is likely too large.

Then if you want to post it large....

Left click on the thumbnail and it will open in a new window - right click on that and highlight copy image location X out the window

Click the yellow square button on top of the message edit window above and a script window opens. Right click on that and highlight Paste and then click on the enter button.

Done!

I use a free uploading service called Tinypic. You'll have to put up with popup ads but it's a simple thing to use.
Here's the link to this tool: tinypic.com

When you're on the site you can upload whatever pic you want to upload, (or use a picture URL-code from another website)
You can upload any size, tinypic changes the size to 640px or 800px automatically, for use on this forum.
When the upload is done wait a few seconds, then a link or code appears. It's called an IMG-code, looks like this: [ IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/1jns0o.jpg[/IMG ]
Just copy the link and paste it into a thread and the pic shows up when you reply or "Go Advanced", and preview your post.

Here's the pic from the purple colored link above:
