Question about photo uploads

Not sure if this is the right place, but I have yet to figure this one out -

I understand how to upload a photo with the "Manage Attachments" button/link. But, if I have a picture uploaded in another thread, lets call it "Thread A," then when I attempt to use this same picture in "Thread B" I am notified that it has already been uploaded in Thread A and it will not allow me to upload it again.

So how do I get this same picture in my post then? On other forums I use an image host (Imagebam, specifically), but when I attempted to use it here the pictures open up as tiny - maybe 150x150 - sized files.

i find it easier just to use an image host like Photobucket and paste it as an IMG. comes out whatever size you have it there and you can link it as many times as you want.

Yeah I kept trying it that way because it is the same method I use on other forums...but every time I do it here it opens up in a new tab/window as a 100x100 file size, even if I set the pic to save as 250x250 or 300x300 or whatever.

In thread A, right click on the image and select "copy image location."
In thread B type [IMG] paste the image location and finish with a [/IMG]
