Here is an easy way to post images as clickable thumbnails.
1. Go to http://postimage.org, use the Browse button to find and select your image, then select "Upload It!"
2. Once the image has uploaded, select the "Thumbnail for Forums (1)" link (either manually by highlighting it, or use the "copy to clipboard" button on the postimage page.)
3. Paste the link into your post.
Now people can see a thumbnail and can click on it if they want to see the full-size image.
There are other image-sharing services that can do this, and there are other ways to do it (including uploading the images to the forum as attachments to your post), but postimage.org is easy.
Why should you care about your image size? Some people still have limited bandwith, or a slow connection, or want to view the forum on a mobile device, any of which can make displaying a bunch of large images expensive or painful.

Don't have much to add here, however, I do love seeing pictures of Pidsley's dog.

Displaying large images on my lappy was painful :)
