You can post 2 ways really;
1st way which is much easier, if the photo is in google or another search engine you copy and paste the URL of the full size image. Or right click the image and click copy image location (for firefox anyway.) Then copy and paste the URL in a post with [img]before%20the%20URL%20and[/img] after the URL. Sounds more complicated than it actually is
2nd way is to save a file to your computer, go to www.photobucket.com and upload the photo to there, you have to register etc. Then copy and paste the IMG code into the thread.

If you see an image on the internet which you want to post here, you can copy its URL (directory to the image) for use one of two simple ways.
Mozilla Firefox internet browser has a brilliant option where you simply right click the picture and click "Copy Image Location". That will put the URL on your clipboard.
Internet Explorer, you right click an image, click "Properties", highlight the entire internet address, hit CTRL+C on your keyboard for copy, then use that link. Use the banner at the top of the forum to practice if it sounds confusing.
It is best to host your own image (i.e. use photobucket or another site) as many webpages frown on you using their URLs (because it costs them bandwidth).

Photobuckets removes anything offensive, use Tinypic!
Right click picture, save image.
Enter tinypic, upload pic from computer. After the pic uploads you will see 4 codes, copy and paste the one for forums.
