Ok, for people not too familiar with forums, here are some tips. I'll start with how to add a photo, but others can add tips they learned and would like to share.
Including a photo:
Step 1, Upload: Ok, this forum doesn't have space to upload photos directly, but you can easily get an account for that purpose at places like www.photobucket.com. Once you do that, you'll hopefully find a URL link to your uploaded photo. Photobucket shows it below each photo but if you are looking at the photo link full screen, chances are you can copy and paste the URL that appears in your browser's Address bar. Either way, copy that link to your clipboard. (Ctrl-C works on Windows)
Step 2, Insert tags: Open a new Post Message screen just like you're writing a new message. Now, in the Add Tags section, you'll see a little framed picture. A little tooltip should say "Insert Image" when you hover over it. Click that button. That should add text that looks like![]()
[/img]. These are called tags.
Step 3, Add your link: Between the ']' and the '[' insert your image link. (Ctrl-V works on Windows). Now yout can test that this worked with the Preview button. If your image doesn't show up, then you either got the link in the wrong place, or your URL is not really pointing to a photo.
That's it, happy linking.
