This is a pure volunteer website (no money in, no money out). The forum is a free one from boards.net and only comes with 200mb storage (not much).
So you/me/we need to upload photos to our own photo hosting website and then copy and paste the link that site gives you into this site.
There are many sites out there that do it for free;
Photo Bucket - www.photobucket.com
This has been the site most people needing to host photos on the web have been using for many years and it's free.
When you are in your photobucket account and have uploaded a photo and have it opened you should see the links on the right. Copy the 'direct link'
You can now in the thread you are posting on in this forum click on the 'insert image' icon and paste in the 'direct link' you copied from photobucket.
Google Photos
Google Photos is super popular for uploading your personal pictures as it's unlimited.
The only problem is they give you what is called a shareable link which isn't any good for EMBEDING the photos in websites.
There is a simple work around all you need to do is copy and paste you shareable link from your google photos into ctrlq.org/google/photos/ this website and it will convert and display a embeddable link that you can copy and paste.
DEFAULT IMAGE SIZE looks to big?
After you add your image if you click on the preview tab you may notice the image take up the whole screen which is quiet annoying.
Simply click back on the BBCode tab after you have clicked on the Preview tab. You will now be able to change the 'max size' on your photo from 100% to something more reasonable but deleting the exact words 100% and replacing is with the extact words 250px which tell the width of your photo to be no bigger than 250pixels.
