I am confused as Pedro about how you are achieving your results. Clearly you are capable of posting images correctly. Your posts at:
http://mainly-my-photos.2306.n6.nabble.com/
prove that. However...

After I post, it shows a proper thumbnail, but when I click on the
thumbnail or link under it, I just get the code

<nabble_img src="2011-09-03_09.31.46_[640x480].jpg" border="0" 
alt="Flower Insect"/>

(this the code that is generated during upload from the browse box).

Can you explain how you made the post at:
http://spac-home.2256.n6.nabble.com/Coaches-Corner-td4344814.html
That is, describe each keystroke and mouse click.

Looking at that code snippet, I wonder if you just took it from another post, which had been generated using the Image upload dialogue, and pasted it into a second post. That won't work as you need to use the image upload dialogue to insert any image.

If you want to reuse one of your images then you should right-click over the image in the original post (such as those you have successfully made at: http://mainly-my-photos.2306.n6.nabble.com/Flowers-td4098838.html ) and use "Copy link location" and then paste the copied code into the "Insert Image" dialogue in the "Or copy an image from the Internet:" field.
 So you have an image at:

http://nabble-support.1.n2.nabble.com/file/t293387/2011-10-12_11.57.42.jpg

I insert it here by doing that!


NOTE: I had to use the [raw] tags on your image URLs as the Nabble software will automatically change an image URL posted within a message to "code". You can check how it does that if you use the [Preview Message] box before posting.

Final Thought: I think I have just found the solution to your problem. In testing this message before posting it I discovered the stuff I wrote in the NOTE: above!
