The easiest way (for me anyway) is to open a free account at one of the photo hosting sites. Forget Photobucket and it's associates though, they're rather costly now. There are umpteen discussions on peoples' favourites.
Upload all your images to the host. Keep them at 800 pixels wide and save everyone having to scroll left/right to see it. Some images posted from the forum system are absolutely ginormous and make for difficult reading.
The hosting site will tell you how to copy the URL (web address) for your chosen image. So copy it to the clipboard.
On the forum's post a message interface, type up your post and click the cursor where you want the photo to be.
Now click the insert image button (
) at the top of the interface.
Paste down the URL you have on the clipboard, overwriting the existing bit of code (
http://).
Your photo will appear in the text.
Carry on like that as required and click Submit Reply.
All free and easy for subscribers and non-subscribers alike.
I like it because you can see how it all looks before posting it. The forum server system only displays code on the message interface (I think).
