I used to post and add a picture to the post and it worked fine...now when I post with a picture, picture posts as a "thumbnail'' .... what has changed or am I doing differently ? ...thanks!

You don't say how you are posting photos, so it's a little hard to answer your question.
I use the "Insert Image" icon on the toolbar, and have no problem.

I cannot answer why it is happening, but it appears that you are posting from a hosted site. As Hameister says it is a lot easier to simply use the icon that looks like the postcard and post directly from your computer then from the host site. Of course if you are posting from your phone or other device and the pictures are not there then the host site would be needed.
...I never used that icon. Had to try it myself. Thanks Ham.
BTW. This was from my hotel last week in Costa Rica.
You're welcome...awesome photo Brad!
I love sunrise and sunset snaps.
They're my favorite photos.
Was that taken on the East, or West coast of Costa Rica?
If you were on the west coast it's a sunset, on the east coast it would be a sunrise.
I cannot tell which it is???
Here's one I took from Longboat Key, facing West into the Gulf of Mexico.
Just as I snapped the shutter, 3 Pelicans flew into the frame!
One of those lucky shots.

No problem, anyone who stops learning is either dead, or a fool.

Since we are learning new things, I wanted to try myself. Here's the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk.
Well hello Hammy, that little thingy is much easier than using a host site. I should have ask my neighbors 12 year old how to do this long ago. Can you resize the photo as this one is way big?

I know of no way to re-size a photo using the forum's vBulletin software.
However, you can do it very easily yourself, with even very basic photo enhancement software.
Remember the maximum width, (in pixels), that this forum site will allow is 1024. Length is not an issue.
So, I always make certain that my photos are no wider that 1000 pixels.
Now in the case of your photo, it was very long, with lots of boardwalk on the bottom, and lots of excess sky on top.
All I did was crop off a little sky and boardwalk.
Then chose a pixel width of 700, because the photo is still longer than wide, and I felt 700 x 845 would be about right to show the photo well, without being too large or small.
Of course the way any photo is cropped, enhanced, re-sized, etc. is very subjective.
To me, your photo looks better presented in this way. However, others may not agree.
Hope this helps.
