Click manage attachments and it will open a new window for you. It will have the option for you to browse for 3 files on your pc to upload, or the URL to the file online that you'd like to upload. All of the sizing requirements are listed on that window as well. After it completes the upload you can close the pop up box. Finally clicking submit thread will make your post active, and your images will appear.

If you'd like to use an online server other than 8thcivic to host your images, you can use one of many free services like tinypic.com, imageshack.us, photobucket.com, and many more. Just upload your files and gather the URL code to the image you've uploaded. You'll have to insert the code that looks like [ img] www. tinypic.com/mypic.gif [/img]. Just without any spaces in the line of code. The "[img]" starting and "[/img]" closing tags will make your picture load into the site.
