First you need an Internet-accessible server where your photos are posted. There are several free photo hosting sites such as Google Photo or Photobucket where you can set up an account and upload your photos to an album.

It's a good idea to create a new album specifically for your forum posts since you can include the link in your forum posts and have it work for all the photos in the album rather than a separate link to each photo.

Next you need to copy the URL (link) where your photo(s) are stored into a forum post. You can either use the URL or Img buttons to enclose the URL when you compose the post. The URL button will create a link that others can click to see your photos. The Img button will display a photo in the post.

You can also code phpbb code directly into your post using the [] tags. There are instructions on how to do this located at http://maulepilots.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3155.

If you use the Img button o tag, then you may need to resize your photo to prevent it displaying too large in the post and prevent horizontal scrolling.

Just put them into an Imgur album, and then post the album link here. Easy-peasy.

Just click the "new post" button in the top left of the main page and add pictures.

I have not verified photo uploads with imgur in a year or so, but It worked when I wrote the instructions
