Hi,
The trick with attaching images is that they must be hosted somewhere on the net already. In other words, pictures won't get transferred from your hard drive and then reside on the forum server like the words do.
Many ISPs give their users a bit of personal web space where they can upload pics for display, make a web site or whatever.
Of course, if you later delete the pics to use the space for something else they will vanish from the post they were in. That's why you often see an empty box with a red x in (or similar) in old threads.
Cheers, Chris.
EDIT: Whoops, wrong again... :p I should have said "USUALLY pictures don't get transferred from your hard drive....". Follow Hymee's instructions below for the correct info. Apparently you can host your own pics, OR use the forum's own space. Nice.

Plus...
It's a good idea to make you pics quite small - to save room on your own web-space, and also so that they don't clog up the thread and take forever to load.
Programs like IrfanView (which I think is still a free download) are excellent for reducing jpegs to a decent size that still have good view quality.
A file size from around 25/30k up to about 75k is usually enough with 100k being pretty much about max needed.

Damn.... I'm in the wrong State again... :D
I lived in Brisbane for a while in the 70s (I was Area Manager for Western Queensland for International Harvester for a while).
We sold trcuks and farm machinery and my area streched from Charleville, Cunamulla, Quilpie etc up to My Isa, Normanton and Hughendon (hope I've got the names right..) So I'm sure I could have wangled an invite to a Stock and Station agent booze up, especially if free.....
EDIT:
Actually we sold hardly any trcuks, but we did sell one or two trucks...

If you click the "Post Reply" button, rather then in the quick "Your Reply" box, you should be able to select the picture to display from you local disk. When you click submit, then the file is uploaded to the RX8 forum site, and your post automatically has the image "inline". So you dont need to host files if you dont want to.

AHA! There's an "Attach file" line below the message box. The IMG function at the top with the rest presumably only works for images hosted elsewhere.
Let's try attaching the image file....
Here's Chris looking relaxed after removing egg from face...

Jax8,
I would recommend you use PaintShopPro - you can download a trial version from http://www.jasc.com/products/paintshoppro/
You can use it to resize your image, and save it in a different format. I always save mine as JPEG for the forum pics. I also resis to 640x480 pixels, and I just about always do an "Image -> Sharpen" for all thos high quality Hymee photo's.
HTH!
Cheers,
Hymee.
