Now that Photobucket has gotten all greedy, wanting us to pay to post pics to third party sites; how can we post pictures on this forum?

I prefer to use http://imgur.com/, myself.

If you need to upload pictures from your phone, there's an official Imgur app for android, as well as a much more simple and easy to use unofficial one called "Imgur Android".

If you need to upload from your computer, here's some pictures to make it easier.

Click the "new post" button circled in red.
Image

Either drag your picture into the webpage, or click the "browse" button circled in red.
Image

Navigate to the picture you want to post, and click it. I'm posting this picture of my bike that I circled in blue, so I first click the picture, then click the "Open" button circled in red.
Image

Congratulations, you've uploaded a picture! Just click the "copy" button circled in red to get the link to your uploaded image.
Image

In order to add the image link to your post, just click the "insert image" button circled in red, or manually type in the bbcode image tags, and paste your image link inside the

Code: Select all

[img][/img]
tags as circled in blue.
Image

Hope this helps.
