Welcome to the insanity! :yesnod:
You have to upload your pic(s) to a location on the internet and then in
your post, click on the image tag button and place the whole address to the
pics between the image tags. It should look something like this.
(note the image tags are misspelled so they will show up here and not
actually try and display a picture)

Hope this helps. Good Luck!
