What I would like to do is change the uploaded image thumbnail (that gets uploaded when a user submits one with their post)from a link to the external url to the image itself. In single.php, if I change it from $url to $imageUrl, it creates a link to the timthumb version, however timthumb won't accept any values that make the image appear with its full dimensions. Any suggestions?

Essentially the small image beside the post when clicked takes you to the external article URL, I want it to take you to the image itself.

Thanks.

you could try changing $imageUrl to = get_attachment_link ();

That should get the link to the first attachment uploaded to the post (which would be the one the user uploaded)
