After a few seconds of the photo being uploaded to the Servimg.com server, you get another pop up box.
This is where you can choose 3 different image code options to add to your post.
The first option is to add a thumbnail picture to your post.
The second option is to add a full sized picture to your post.
The third option is to just add a link to your post, not a picture.
