Answer to chat question. Use an Imgur or Flickr account to save pics.
Write your post under a relevant forum section, use the image icon to get img brackets, copy direct link from Imgur or similar in Flickr I guess
Copy and paste it between img brackets.

For examples open a post which has images, click on quote reply tool and see how the post was written with img brackets.

I just do direct attachments.

There are some size limitations but that usually isn't a problem.

Yeah although there's limited server space of course, it's better if you upload images directly to the board and not use third-party image hosting when possible. This way there's less of a chance of the images becoming broken.

A couple times, I've had to screen shot an image and use that.

I think the problem was that it was downloaded from another site.

It was a pic of mine but had been deleted, so I downloaded it from the other forum. This forum didn't like something about it. I was on my tablet, so texting it to myself wasn't an option.
