you mean jpegs of drawings? or the actual file of the drawing? the actual drawing, I believe you have to .zip it first to post it. The jpeg you need either a small enough file to use the attachment method or you need to host the jpeg on another server.
It looks like both have a 200 kb limit.
to zip it in xp (I'm assuming that's what you have) right click the file and select send to>compressed (zipped) folder
In SketchUp, you use File>Export and select jpeg for your file format to save a jpeg of the view you have on your screen.
When you get to the point of replying or posting to a thread, you hit the icon that looks like a paperclip

Go to the "Export" option under the 'File' menu, then save the drawing (whats on the screen) as a jpg or jpeg file in whatever folder you want to.
When you are on the thread on ContractorTalk you want then go the "Post Reply" button, click the little icon for attachments, looks like a paper clip, browse to the file you saved then double click on the file. Back in the paper clip dbx that came up hit upload. Then close out of that. Post as you would normally and the pic will be included.
Andy,

Don't change the drawing, save the drawing. Use "File" in SketchUp, then "Export" then "2d graphic" it should pop right up to jpeg.

When you "Export" it will say "Export type" at the bottom of the window. Choose the type you would like to make the file and hit the Export key.
