Answer to chat question. Use an Imgur or Flickr account to save pics.
Write your post under a relevant forum section, use the image icon to get img brackets, copy direct link from Imgur or similar in Flickr I guess
Copy and paste it between img brackets.

For examples open a post which has images, click on quote reply tool and see how the post was written with img brackets.

I just do direct attachments.

There are some size limitations but that usually isn't a problem.

if using android just send pic to yourself, click pic and save, then grab it when attaching(pic that says resized) then it wont say image too large

Yeah although there's limited server space of course, it's better if you upload images directly to the board and not use third-party image hosting when possible. This way there's less of a chance of the images becoming broken.

A couple times, I've had to screen shot an image and use that.

I think the problem was that it was downloaded from another site.

It was a pic of mine but had been deleted, so I downloaded it from the other forum. This forum didn't like something about it. I was on my tablet, so texting it to myself wasn't an option.
