The new image link button on the editor has a lot more features than the old one, and you're picking one you don't want. When you click the Image button there will be two tabs, From Computer and From URL.

From Computer is really just an easier way to use the old Attachment system (which is still available via the old interface at the bottom of the Advanced Post screen). You upload a file from your personal computer and it is hosted on the Org. Attachments are displayed in posts as thumbnails, so if you use this method, you will get thumbnails.

From URL has is the new version of the old IMG code system, but it's a bit fancier. You enter the URL of the image and it inserts it into your post like normal. However, there's an extra check box on the From URL screen, and that's the new fancy feature. With the Retrieve remote file and reference locally option enabled, the forums actually download the remote image and make it a locally hosted attachment. This ensures that if the image disappears off of whatever site it's currently hosted on, it will not be lost from your post. However, note that doing this makes it an attachment, just like with the From Computer/Attachment option. Thus, it displays as a thumbnail. In order to get the image to not be a thumbnail, you need to uncheck the box next to Retrieve remote file and reference locally. That will not make it a thumbnail and will instead display it in the old IMG code fashion.

Note that if you upload an image as an attachment with either method, you can remove it via the Manage Attachments option at the bottom of the Edit Post screen.
