1) First, you need an off site web host for your pictures. Flickr and Photobucket.com are two that I use.
2) Now you need to go to the image you want to post and copy the url for the large version of that image. Photobucket list the URL under the pictures thumbnail. Some sites you may need to right click on the image and click on "Properties" to find the URL.
3) Click on the hyperlink icon in the Post Reply box  and paste the URL in the text box that appears and click OK.
4) Another text box will appear asking for "Text for your link". Now you have two options a) type in text that will hyperlink to your image (Text will be underlined in the message) or b) copy the URL for you image's thumbnail into this box and add [img] before the URL and [/img] after the URL. Flickr provides a thumbnail URL but for Photobucket you need to right click/properties on the thumbnail shown on the web page.
Example:
Actual photo URL: //i9.photobucket.com/albums/a86/atupdate/Aquariuim%20and%20Zoo/IMGP2627-01Web.jpg
Text Link Example: Photo Link
Thumbnail URL: //s9.photobucket.com/albums/a86/atupdate/Aquariuim%20and%20Zoo/th_IMGP2627-01Web.jpg
Thumbnail Example [img]Thumbnail URL[/img]:
