Hi Claude,

The first thing to say is that a (conventional) browser (AOL does tend to do things its very own way) will only display images that are saved in the JPG, GIF and PNG format, so don't try uploading BMP or other image formats.

I did note that the capcha image posted recently to this forum seemed to have been saved in an indexed format image with less bit depth than it should have had, so there are indications that you may not be saving images in appropriate formats and with appropriate settings. You might struggle with images on any web site, not just Nabble.

As to sizing and positioning images, I have a FAQ that I tend to post on most of my forums. Take a look at:
http://seahawk-forum.968426.n3.nabble.com/Inserting-Images-in-the-Forum-td1599211.html

Ask if you don't understand anything there. It's always helpful to know if my FAQs could be improved.

Note: The FAQ refers to truncating images wider than 750px. That is because that forum is embedded in a page that restricts the width of the forum. However, you'd still be advised to limit images to around that size as many visitors may use windows not a lot bigger in order to restrict the line length of text to make it easier to read. (You seem to have your own approach - posting huge text!)
