Click the IMG button & paste in the URL of the image

Have you got them hosted on the web somewhere? They have to be [i]linked[/i] from a Flickr (or similar) site.

The easy way is to right-click on the image and "Copy Image Location" then just click the IMG button in a forum post and paste the photo's URL in there (if it doesn't end in .jpg, it's probably not the address of the image itself). There are other, more sophisticated, ways which will allow link backs etc.

If it's your own photos, you must have them hosted first, there is no way to upload them directly.

Don't confuse the URL of the picture with the URL of a page with the picture (and a bunch of other stuff) on it.
EDIT-stuartie_c is more clear how to do it ๐Ÿ™‚

1. set up a web hosting site for your pictures. Flickr and photobucket are 2 examples of photo hosting websites. with flickr you might have to create a yahoo email account also.
2. download picture from your pc/laptop to your photo hosting website.
3. copy the URL of the picture (will end in .jpg) from the photo hosting website
4. press the IMG button on the toolbar above^^^. paste the URL into the box and press enter.
