There are 2 ways to upload.

One is to upload from your computer. This saves the picture on the forum. There is a limit to size you can upload. Somewhere around like 1200x800

The other option is to upload the photo to a cloud based service like Imgur, Smugmug, Google drive, etc and copy the Image address into the "Insert URL" tab of the image uploader.

Photobucket. You can do everything from your phone. Upload the picture to “your bucket” then you can copy the image code from the info. Then paste that code directly into the text field on this forum. When you submit it the picture itself will be seen. You don’t have to click links or anything after that. But the problem is that photobucket will sometimes change your links. If this happens it not show up on the site. I’ve uses photobcket for years though on other forums and no problems.

Personally I would avoid photobucket because of the whole Mishap last year. If you guys don't know the company photobucket basically blackmailed their users. They suddenly required you to pay $400 a year if you want your pictures to show up on other people's websites like this forum. They backed-off on this recently and went back to normal but still would never trust them. I pay $50 a year for smugmug and I am happy with that.

Great answers from everybody, thanks.

We limit the size of the pictures to keep the storage amounts in check and to keep up the performance of the pages. Personally, I prefer 3rd party sites.

BTW, if you are using Tapatalk, like via a mobile device, Tapatalk ends up hosting your pictures.

Test above worked. I vaguely remember Tapatalk asking a while back if I wanted to use Tapatalk or forum to host pictures. I think it was one of those set it and forget it settings, but it worked just now.
