There should be a sticky here on how to post pictures. The question's asked very frequently.
 
We have an entire forum for that:
Community Discussion Forums > Activities, Training & Skills Development > Photography Discussion

Its first sticky:
Sticky: TUTORIAL: Displaying your photographs on BladeForums
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...AL-Displaying-your-photographs-on-BladeForums

One forum in particular relies heavily on photographs:
Bernard Levine's Knife Collecting & Identification
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/f...-Levine-s-Knife-Collecting-amp-Identification

It has a sticky addressing the question, as well:
Sticky: READ THIS FIRST! How to ask questions that get answered.
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...FIRST!-How-to-ask-questions-that-get-answered
 
When the question comes up in a thread, this is what I post, in whole or in part:

While paid members can upload pictures directly from their computers, anyone can open a photo hosting account.
I use www.photobucket.com . Download your pictures to the account and they give you a URL for each picture.
Use the fourth URL choice, with the tags already in place. Copy & Paste that in your post here.

Or as Spark says:
How can I post an image to the site? Simple: Go to [url]http://www.imgur.com[/url] and upload your image.
After uploading, select the BBCode option - it starts with [IMG]. Copy. Paste. Enjoy.

You should also [URL="http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/353471-READ-THIS-FIRST!-How-to-ask-questions-that-get-answered"]READ THIS FIRST! How to ask questions that get answered[/URL] which includes photo posting instructions.

Even more helpful. I just copied that into my visitor messages for quick reference. Thanks again!
