Hi, use the BB code tag, you can find tips and tutorials here: faq.php?mode=bbcode

i always use imgur.com to upload pictures, then you can post the link here between the [ img] [ /img] tags. However i never tried it from my phone, always from pc. Also there is a limit on the image, it can be max 1200 pixels wide. Very annoying, since screenshots from pc are always larger.

Alternately, above the box where you do your typing there are formatting options. Bold, Italic, Underline etc. After the [ * ] option there's a box with mountains and a sun on it, that's your shortcut for images.

[img ][/img ] Click that and you get this instantly.

You gotta get the actual url of the image. The link you posted just goes to imgur's page for that image.

Like so:

[img]http://i.imgur.com/CMVakU1.jpg[/img]

However this image can't be used cause it's too big. The maximum width and length allowed are 1200 pixels.

Which, Imgur is helpful in re-sizing it. When you upload, or if you already have, choose the image.. and down at the bottom it will say "edit image"

The first of many if this method has worked. Thanks for such an easy way of getting pics here.

EDIT. It appears not to have.

Copy image url is the key here guys.if your browser has it you should be able to do it.my stock browser has no such options
