Have seen a bit of chat about how to post a photo. Thought this quick thing might help.
This is using the desktop site, which you can choose to do so even from mobile phones. It is using the Reply function that opens the different screen not just the Quick reply button. Also it is using Imgur and assuming you know how to upload a photo to imgur already.
Select photo in imgur and you get a screen with options on what to copy select direct link ((screen shot is from imgur website )) 
Copy the Direct Link option
Then click the photo button that says Insert Image It looks like a little picture between the Envelope and the Movie clicker
That will pop up this screen 
That is where you copy the Direct Link from picture example 1. Be sure if you copy paste to remove the http:// that comes up automatically in the Image URL line as seen above.
Then you end up with something like 
Then click Insert Image as seen above and you should instantly see the picture on the screen under/above your text.
Bored at work. Hope this helps someone. Might not be put in the right section .

Good work dervis my man. Perhaps you should show folks how to post a pic to imgur, too! (It's really easy, just drag the image from your pc over to imgur)

Okay. So, to put an image on imgur, navigate to imgur.com and click on new post in the upper left corner.  Now, you're presented with this screen:  From here, you can either click and drag an image to the center, or you can click "Browse" and find the image that way. EZPZ. Feel free to holler if you have questions! |

Not familiar with Imgur. Does this work with Box or Dropbox?

From Dropbox, I select the full sized image, copy the link (The "address" of the photo), then paste that URL in the box that comes up when you select the image icon (third from left, bottom row).  |

Try Postimage. Super easy. Free. No sign up. Copy/paste using the “forum” option.
