I never got the hang of the attachment system either - I use an external website (imgur), like Amit mentioned, you can put images up there, (up to 700 on a free account) and link them directly in a post.
When you upload an image to imgur it gives you a selection of codes you can copy and paste, if you copy the one called 'for forums' that looks something like
[ img ] i.imgur/image.jpg [ / img ]
and copy / paste that into your post your image will show. It's useful having them externally as well because you can link to them from other websites, or show someone in skype quickly for example.
