I use Imgur.com to post links to pics here as the size requirement limits the pictures quite a bit.

Kaczor's screenshots should get you there Bostick65. If you get a message saying the photosize is too large, you can use something like "Paint" to resize it, then attach. First couple of times it seems a bit clunky, but it becomes second nature after a few goes..

At the bottom of the screen you will see the "Quick Reply" box. Below it is a rectangular button "Full Editor & Preview." Click on that.
The box now becomes "POST A REPLY" moving up on the screen. Below the box to the left are two tabs: "Options" and "Attachments": click on "Attachments."
Under the blue/gray area of the "Attachments" tab is a rectangle "Add files"; click on that.
Your PC or MAC files should open, whereupon you have to locate your photo by its name and double click on it"
After you double click a wide rectangle with "FILENAME" "FILE COMMENT" "SIZE" AND "STATUS" WILL APPEAR. (For example, I uploaded a file named <Kilroy.jpg>)
Back up in the "POST A REPLY" box, click on where you want the file to appear.
Then move your pointer back down to the rectangle with "Place inline" and click.
Kilroy.jpg
Kilroy.jpg (46.02 KiB) Viewed 5223 times
Your photo appears.

Same here.

Easy and free.

Be careful with external hosts. We all remember how Photobucket blocked its photos overnight a few years ago.

If it happens, I have no control over that. All of my pics are stored locally so I could just kill my account on Imgur. Yeah...all the links would be broken, but it is what it is.
