If you follow (or have followed) the information on that page and it still hangs, then resize your pic to make the filesize smaller. Anything over 2Mb or so will not work well. Turn up JPEG compression (50% is fine) or resize the pic to make it smaller (800x600) image will view just fine in the forum.

Let me know if you have any more difficulties.

Having looked at the unpublished content, I realise you might have been referring to a submitted image as well.

Instructions are here:
/help/submit_an_image

Again, same thing applies. Images over 2Mb are unlikely to upload correctly. Increase JPEG compression or reduce the size of the image. JPEG compression at 75% will reduce most 2Mb image to a few hundred Kb without a noticable loss in quality.

Some free windows software to this is IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.com/). If you're on a Mac, I'm sure there's something similar.
