you need to host your pictures/photos on free image hosting website because you cannot host any photos into this website forum (except for the webmaster).

Go to free image hosting website such as:

http://www.imageshack.us - you dont have to enter your email address, unless you have to create a personal account (which is still free by the way)
1) upload your photo
2) copy the entire address link from the 'Direct Link to Image' bar
3) switching back to this forum, click the "IMG" (which refers to adding image) button in the reply section
4) Paste the address link you copied earlier into the bar and click ok
5) By then you should see this code in your post-reply message box, like this '[img]http://img284.imageshack.us/img284/5256/tbe8xb8.jpg[ /img]' or something similar, note that this is just an example.
6) Finish entering all your messages, click 'preview' button to preview your message and see if everything is working alright especially the photos
7) If it isn't, check to see if you copied the image link properly and if the entire link address is being pasted in between '[img] and [/img]'
Click 'Submit' and your photos should be in the forum.


Another free image hosting website is

http://www.photobucket.com

But you have to create and set up a new account (Free of charge) before you can start uploading.

The Pros: you can log in to your account and referred to your previously uploaded or hosted image from your account, so that you can re-accessed and re-use the address link if you may need them in the future.

The Cons: You have upload limits.


Hope this helps, any other question please direct here and I will try to help you as much as I can.
