It would be easiest to get image hosting through something like Photobucket.
 
Howdy,
As a registered member you can post pictures by uploading them to a web hosting site. Facebook generally does not work for this. Imgur offers free accounts. So do others. Photobucket is no longer suitable.

Once they pictures are uploaded, copy the link. Then go to the post where you want to put the picture and click the picture tool (on the tool bar next to the smiley face). Paste the web address into the popup. Make sure the web address ends with .jpg or similar. Click OK.
 
Go to https://imgur.com/register

Sign up

Take your pictures

Upload them

Click on them.

From the list of links created for you, find the one that says BBCode. Click "Copy" to copy that link.

Paste it directly here in your post. It will be surrounded by a "start-image" and "end-image" tag pair, which looks like [ img ] and [ /img ] but without the spaces- like this one below:

[ img ]https://i.imgur.com/Ms9nocG.jpg[ /img ]

Without the spaces (which I added above to show you what I am talking about), I get this:

Forget those other two image hosting sites
Use this https://postimages.org/ it's the best there is.
It's also the simplest there is and there's no need to sign up or anything.

Just upload the picture, hit the blue icon at the hotlink for forums to copy it, then paste it here.

It's the best because it's so simple, it has a built in photo resizer, everyone will be able to see the pictures , and they won't have to click on a link which some people don't like to do in case they don't trust the site.

Except for the ridiculous amount of porn and dating spam that my phone gets attacked by when clicking a "postimages.org" link...

....yes it looks like it started life and a Porn Sharing site and in late '16 split the categories with the porn getting a separate web address, it however remains the same group which would explain why you are bombarded with porn and Russian Brides once you start visiting ... some may actually like that, but not for image hosting....

Yup. I've been using imgur easily and happily 3 or so years now. No problems. Simple yet you can do more complex stuff if you want.

Imgur tis the shiz. Also, great community. Even if they do downvote your random knife pics into oblivion haha

Oh that's what it is! And no, I have a pretty high threshold of desperation when it comes to ordering myself a bride :D

Hmm, that's strange.
I don't get any of that stuff, the only add I've seen on there is for flashlights and Boye knives.
I just clicked on it and there weren't any adds on it.

Interesting. I don't use cookies so maybe it's their default.

I was logged in, I signed up originally not knowing I didn't have to.
When I logged out I did see an add for Garvin industries clamps and fasteners.

I had no clue about the whole X-rated thing, having a .org instead of a commercial .com I never would've thought that, it's given me no trouble so I continue to use it.
It's also very easy, so I recommend it for people who just need to post one photo to get a knife identified or something.

But yeah I do see adds sometimes, but the last time I saw an add on there was yesterday and it was for Boye knives.

And maybe it's changed. I cant remember exactly the last time I ran into it. A non-issue really.

.....probably recommending it as "the best" is a little naive or over stating it and certainly done without consideration for the end use of each person. ie) what you suggest it for ...one or two images...yes sure maybe (even if it still has it's roots as a porn site) but Photobucket etc are not for folks to simply host a single image and also allow you more control over the later disposition of those images. I personally have about 6K images presently hosted in private albums that I use for linking to around the net as *I* choose, sure people can copy them if they wish but this is not generated through generic searches of the host site. My Photobucket is still active as I had have a paid account and they are (for the moment) honouring it till that subscription expires. so I need something also, but it certainly will not be postimages etc.
