This is one way to do it - it's not as straightforward as you might think.

I find it easier to use photobucket as the host and link pictures from there.

My version of what happens when posting pictures....
The main thing to get your head around is that the site (and this goes for almost all forums) don't actually hold your pictures due to space limitations (photos takes up tons more space than words), so what you need to do is to have a pointer to where the picture is stored. Because most of us don't open our hard drives up for all the world to come and look at another location needs to be found to hold the picture.
The easiest solution for most of us is to have a photo account with a third party (i.e. Photobucket, Servimg, etc). These third party locations give you a link that you can paste/insert into your post.
When the forum software reads this geek-speak it says to itself "hmm, he wants me to show the picture that is over on that Photobucket site, I'll just go grab it and put it in the post."
Good luck
