Currently to post photos on the forum, you need to use a hosting service online. It looks complicated to do this, but once you have done it, you will find it easy! I have used photobucket for almost ten years, and it's got easier of late. Other services are out there, search for 'online photo hosting'. Sorry if these instructions insult anybody's intelligence or technical ability!

First sign up for a free account. Once you have done this you are taken to the main page, but you won't have any photos there yet! Look for a link top right ish 'Continue to my PhotoBucket' This will take you the page you add your pics.
There will be a box. Open your photo file on your computer, and put your cursor over the thumbnail of the photo you want to upload. Hold down the mouse button, and slide across to the box on the upload page without letting go. When you release the button, the thumbnail will appear in the box. Repeat the process if you want to add more pics. Now above the box will be three buttons, above the right one (Edit Photos) there is a link 'Your Bucket' click on that, it will take you to the album containing thumbnails.Hover your cursor over the thumbnail of the pic you want to post, and a symbol will appear top right. Hover over that, and a list appears, select 'Share Links' to get to a box that has the codes. Click on the bottom code IMG codes, it will change to copied.
Now go to your post, and put your cursor where you want to post the pic. Click on the right mouse button, and select Paste. The code should appear in the post. To make sure you have the right one, click on 'Preview'. Your pic should appear. Click on 'Submit'.
