How do you add a photo to the forum

Hello. I'm new to the forum. On some posts, folks have added photos of Celestia objects or other images to highlight their points. I have tried but cannot figure out how to add an actual photo to a post. The image icons at the top of a forum message allow you to add a web page address, but there is nothing about inserting an actual photo. Please, how is it done?

Well part of it was right there when you made this post.
#1 you need to have the picture accesseble through the internet. Meaning if you have web sorage somewhere put you pictures there. Now when you make a post there is a row of boxes along the top. The labled B-i-u-Quote-Code-List- List=- Img-URL. When your typing your message amd are ready to insert your image click the IMG box and paste in the UL to where your image is loacted and after pasting that in hit the ING box again. Then you can go on typing more text or add more images. The main thing is that the pictures have to located on a server that the forun can access all the time so we cn all see the images. There is no right out place for you to upload your image to unless you can get Chris to give you some space for a Photo Gallery like many of us have. Then you can simply paste in your URL from there. If you want to show us alot of images that would be the way to go.
