It took me awhile to figure it out too but heres what I did and it worked
You have to have the picture saved somewhere on your hard drive, then upload it to this free site:
imageshack.us/
When you go to upload it, make sure "file" is chosen, make sure to choose a small size like about 320 x 240 from the drop down menu on the side of resize image, click "resize image" and "remove size/resolution bar from thumbnail?"
Then click "host"
It will upload the photo
It will then go to another page and show you your picture with several links to chose from "use the link that says direct on the right side of it.
left click the link once, then right click and copy.
Now go to the message you are writing and from the "add tags" menu above your message, click the little box with the picture on it that will insert two things in your message that look like this: [/img].
Plant your cursor between these to words and brackets, right click, paste, this will paste the direct link to your picture and it should be there when you preview your post before actually posting it.
Also try to keep the images small because if the image fills the page you cant see the whole thing.
One other thing about the free site, you do not have to join it so if you dont save the http address (page) in your favorites, you cant go back to find your page. Its not really important that you do save it but if you do you can see all the photos you previously uploaded and can add as many as you want. From what I understand they will keep the picture for a year and then they delete the picture and the link is dead.
Hope this helps.
If you have trouble pm me and ill try to help some more.
